Courage as a Disruptor with Grace French Breaking Schemas
-
- Marketing
In 2018, dancer, marketer, and nonprofit founder Grace French did one of the most courageous things a person can do. She came forward and reported the abuse she had endured as a child at the hands of an infamous USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor.
But that was just the beginning of her work that’s been shaped by courage. Grace went on to found the nonprofit organization, Army of Survivors, with a mission to bring awareness, accountability, and transparency to sexual violence against athletes.
She chats with Breaking Schemas co-hosts Marcus Collins and John Branch about the impact Army of Survivors is having around the world, how she’s applied her marketing education and background to the nonprofit world, and why she believes courage is contagious.
