🔥 Please join us for a conversation with Grace Yung Foster and host Greg Gentry!
Grace Yung Foster is Founder & CEO of The Inclusion Initiative.
Grace was born in South Korea. At 3 years old, she was orphaned and abandoned at the local market. She immigrated to the US at 5 years old, eventually ended up in the foster care system, and then adopted.
Her experiences as an immigrant, a person of color in a very white community, and also her very difficult experience as a transracial adoptee and foster youth influenced her narrative of self-rejection of her Asian identity. She was in constant pursuit of finding “white belonging” for over 25 years and being ashamed of her Asian heritage. But now she has created belonging for those who share these intersectional identities.
Grace holds an MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business. She also holds an Associate's degree in Business Administration and a BA in Communications from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
