In our second episode, I am delighted to bring you Grace Kim James. Grace is the Head of Marketing at Atlantic Records, representing artists such as Missy Elliott, Lizzo, and FKA Twigs. Grace is a fellow Korean American and we get into so many topics pertaining to what it means to be Asian in America. We go there with the uncomfortable but urgent matter of racism against Asians.

Ultimately, this episode is an homage to our immigrant parents, whose sacrifices and strength we admittedly took for granted when we were growing up, and to our Korean heritage, which is finally finding a place in pop culture by way of kpop, kimchi, and conversations like this. I think you’re going love listening to the lyrical cadence of her voice…it’s no wonder such huge musicians want to work with her. Please enjoy this inspiring, no-holds-barred conversation with Grace Kim James.
