A Mixed Executive Perspective Podcast, hosted by Grace Fooden-Correy, explores identity, leadership, and belonging through the lived experience of a biracial woman navigating corporate America. Drawing from her personal life and career as a senior fashion executive, Grace shares honest stories and lessons about showing up authentically in spaces not built for you. This series offers visibility, validation, and real perspective for biracial professionals and anyone striving to lead, grow, and stay true to themselves.
Is standing your ground a strength, or does it depend on who you are?
Grace Fooden Correy explores confidence, cultural identity, and workplace belonging through the story of a young Black woman she mentors. Educated in predominantly white environments and working in a predominantly white, male industry, this woman finds that the confidence she was taught to value becomes a source of conflict with her boss.
In this episode of A Mixed Executive Perspective, Grace reflects on the overlap between mixed identity and living between cultures, the limits of changing someone else’s mind, and knowing when to seek a workplace that values you.
When a colleague challenges you, do you hear confidence or disrespect? Would your answer change if they looked or sounded different?
