Beauty, Motherhood and Korean Identity with Grace Lee

Grace Lee (@graceleebeauty) knows a thing or two about micro-aggressions working in the beauty industry. As Maybelline New York's lead Canadian artist, she’s seen it all in an industry with questionable casting and beauty standards. from being told models should look “more Asian” to a lack of diverse models and facing imposter syndrome, Grace tells us why after many years she needs to use her platform to speak out against inequities.

A mother of two, raising kids who also have faced their fair share of racism at a young age, she also talks about preserving culture and how she teaches her kids to be proud of their Korean-Chinese background.
