Grace Beverley #2 How to be a successful entrepreneur; sponsored by GenFlow & rich parents

[Stephg264889]

Everything about that article is ridiculous
The fact she says she was a “lifestyle YouTubers” who sometimes posted fitness content. Hun your username and first business was called “Grace fit Uk”

I can’t stand when she says they are disrupting the industry. They are targeting young girls, who were graces followers when she was still doing PLT hauls. They dont give a shit about environment, they just use it to feel good about another purchase. And now they use love islanders to do sponsored content wearing her clothes- not saying you need to have Greta thunberg- but love islanders??!?you are literally capitalising from the easily influenced spender audiences.
You care about profit not trees, cba with the greenwashing
Wearing her shein clothes, non-vegan trainers. Everything about her is a lie.

And she proper winds me up when she posts this narrative that she is the most hardworking individual on the planet to ever exist when she is no more hand working than a normal person. All I see of her during a weekday is doing gym workouts, taking photos of her side arse, playing with her dog, arguing with other companies on twitter and writing a to do list. And then also tries to claim she never takes days off when we can see her Bikini bod on insta taking 6 holidays a year

Oooh can you add some screenshots? Sorry im being lazy im just about to head out and dont want her to delete!

I'd be so embarrassed if I were her

Montana was moving into her house so she went on holiday to France with her? I’m no Einstein but couldn’t Montana the grown adult have moved into Grace’s home without a diversion to France for a unnecessary holiday to spend time with people who aren’t her immediate family?

I think you’re way way way waaay too concerned with someone else’s pocket. You can be extremely successful in a short space of time without coming from wealth. People have done it. You sound like you lack confidence and are projecting negatively. And now that she has all that she has regardless of whether she had a leg up or not, what can we do about it? Absolutely nothing.

Continuously harping on about her privilege doesn’t help you acquire the things you obviously feel as though you’re lacking. She has the house, she has the hot tub and whatever else she’s ‘lucky’ to have. She doesn’t have to explain her wealth/background to anybody at all. Get over it and get over yourself. You can’t live life vilifying people because they have more than you. We live in a capitalist society that has been existing since before we came into this world, you seem as though your main dislike is the fact that she comes from wealth... would you be this upset if you came from wealth and have all that she has?
I doubt it, so get off of your high horse please! I’ve read the room, and it seems as though you have personal issues to address.

I just really don’t see how me discussing grace on a thread that’s topic is GRACE has anything to do with my confidence or wealth? Not really sure how you’re there criticising me and everyone else who writes on this thread discussing her privilege and wealth (what would you rather we discuss her looks then you’d be coming for that too?) saying it’s bad and I’m on a high horse and I’m way too concerned with someone else when you’re literally commenting on me and my life Hahahaha. Sweetie I’m not even famous and you’re still concerned. Oh and fyi I’m confident af but thanks for your concern.

maybe take yourself to the karl marx thread if you want to discuss capitalism lmao.

 

[Dontlikegossips]

Maybe it's me, but even if she creates a really good product, I will not expend my money on her, I will not support her in any form, especially money-wise. Because I really don't believe in her, her ways, ethics, behavior, privileges, pretentious and condescending talks...
We may not change the world but we can decide how we expend our hard earn money, we decide who and what we support and that is our power.

 

[Xxyyzz200]

im loving this tea - also why do grace's followers all think that if she is criticized, ppl are obsessed with someone's lives when they're the ones who want to replicate her every outfit, jewelry, write about her in dissertations, credit her to academic distinctions

Covid tested before going. Great thanks for wasting resources for your pointless trip abroad

 

[MIClovergirl]

I don’t understand how she has time to spend all afternoon having picnics in a park during multiple weekdays. Like how can a CEO of 3 companies start work at 10am, finish at 3/4 and then also take weekends off? Like it’s fine if that’s your lifestyle and your job gives you time to do that but then don’t glorify unhealthy work habits and long hours when you rarely do that and make that your whole ‘vibe’ on social media

 

[SilentSue]

would you be this upset if you came from wealth and have all that she has?

I would be embarrassed, to be quite honest. Old wealth in the U.K. like the Beverleys’ and Broackes’ comes from imperialism and worse.

Interesting that all these influencers weren't actively promoting these people before this though.

Yup and tbh it's genuinely traumatizing to hear them say things like "we are learning, give us time to learn" and asking for "kindness and patience" like Flora was in her comments. It's even quite traumatizing to hear them that they have to educate themselves because imagine having to educate yourself on racism when it is a lived experience for other people every single day like that is quite some mindboggling clear form of racial privilege that we will never understand what it's like. Like yes we POC clearly (laughably) understand best just how much white people, esp white people of upper middle to upper classes will never understand racism. When POC face racism, no one gives warnings or signals or kindness and patience before we experience it lmaooo. I do try to be kind to fellow white allies but a lot of them are just oozing with privilege especially influencers and it's sickening. I'm quite sure a lot of them didn't care before (if they're having to force educate themselves now) and if anything, this moment shows me who really cares (who makes the bare minimum effort) and who doesn't (can't even bring themselves to do the bare minimum). Oenone has been great. Oenone also said do not thank me, which is extremely true but seems like these others want to be thanked.

The way Grace cares is selective too imo and if you called her out on it, she would probs lash back and get angry instead of try to fix herself. She has appropriated black culture which is extremely different from being anti-racism and appreciating another culture. Like others have pointed out she has not made an effort to employ WOC of any race. She also thinks representing and understanding just black people are enough (?) and has somehow forgotten that race issues don't encompass asians, arabs, hispanic, etc. etc. when black people have fought for these groups too? (i'm saying this based on Grace throughout the years, this is clearly obvs not the issue at this very moment) But without ever representing and talking about Asians, Grace wants to use Tala to campaign against forced labour in Asia? These people will never get it and while I understand that and will never ask them of something they're not capable of, I'm not sure why we owe it to them to be kind that they are too privileged to not get it. If you don't get it, you need to go off on your own and educate yourself and have convos with POC until you do and then speak about it and post (esp if you're an influencer with a huge public base). It just seems like Grace is doing a great job because others are doing nothing, but she also has far to go in terms of her actions (even tho her usage of platform is good).

I just can't accept the fact that people have to pay for their own returns, even for faulty products but they're happy posting about their turnover and grace posting about how rich she is. That's enough to put me off buying anything from them, and then obviously there are issues with the products themselves

 

[sillycat34]

It annoys me how she kept saying how 'broke' she was after her buying her house and renovating it, mentioning "the chemical peel was £12,000 which was very expensive but so worth it". But she actually has SO much money that she could easily afford this stuff, and travel south america for 2 months on top of that. Every single thing in her home was expensive. The bar in her 'babe cave' was £900 and she said she "went cheap" at that stage because of how much everything else was costing. The necklaces she recently put links to on her instagram stories were £500 each. In the past few weeks she's bought a hot tub and had it installed, and now she's sporting £700 balenciagas. Why can't her followers see that she is so detached from reality. I really hope people can see through her BLM activism. There is nothing sincere about her. I also wonder if she has many genuine friends because she only seems to do things with her tala colleagues so she can post a story saying how close they all are, and she didn't seem to have many friends at uni.

 

[lmem]

she geo-tagged white city house in the previous story which is in london

Yep white city house is one of the locations of the soho house members' club, an extremely elite and expensive members only club.

This is exactly why people call her hypocritical and a champagne socialist. She claims to support Labour and be socialist and yet joins an extremely elitist group where the requirements are literally that you have a load of cash and that you know all the right people as you have to have 2/3 references by current members to be allowed to join. The waiting list can be years as well, although I imagine she has enough connections that she was bumped up the list especially as I can imagine her mum or other relatives also being members.

This is why she is so out of touch with real people (I saw the tweet she posted about everyone having jobs/specialties.....lol), because she is completely within a bubble surrounded by people who are from a similar background.

 

[Leosworld]

To me this just sounds like she’s invented the stats tbh

Guys grez went to oxford so clearly she knows her numbers. I think you just need to stop being a hater towards this #girlboss rn.

 

[aeip]

This is all good and well Grace, but if your products Fail to last longer than a few wears and washes, the reduced carbon footprint and plastic bottle reuse is offset by your nonsense. What bullshit. If her Tala crap was actually “bridging the gap” I’d gladly give her the credit.
Also, “consumerist customer?” The definition of customer is a person that buys goods or services, aka a consumer...

Is it just me or does this reply make no sense? Every time she comments on any form of social media I read her replies, reread them and still don’t really understand what she’s getting at. She spouts a load of crap to give off the impression that she has bucketloads of business acumen but really what the fuck does the ‘s curve’ have to do with the fact that your “sustainable” products don’t last 5 minutes?

 

[aurghgurus]

does this remind you of anyone? (I hope I’ve linked it right)

 

[MIClovergirl]

and ah yes here is the proof that she indeed went to France.

wow this girl really believes these things

Well if you’re not going to be vegan and sustainable don’t base your whole brand off enticing people based on just that. And don’t aggressively market to guilt trip people into buying your clothes to save the planet when you aren’t doing the same. People haven’t put her on a pedestal, she put herself there. And now that she’s used her followers to make millions they’re suddenly the bad guy for being like hang on, I spent my money and supported you in the name of sustainability and now it’s not that important to you?

 

[dinkybird]

i definitely thought it was longer lmao. surprised she didn’t throw herself a harvard graduation ceremony

oh she is DEFINITELY reading in here. Hi Grez

 

[Ihatemylife]

WHYY is grace retweeting tweets criticising people who buy fast fashion when in the majority of her recent insta posts she has been decked head to toe in the stuff, despite the fact that, unlike most, she can actually afford to shop completely sustainably and isn’t forced to buy cheap clothes because of her low income. Talking about how shit the quality is but then also continuously flogging leggings that rip after a wear and transparent trackies? Criticising Boohoo for their shit wages whilst not even declaring how much she pays her staff and importing shit from China of all places? Grace’s Twitter is just full of virtue signalling and champagne socialism and honestly it’s really starting to piss me off

Also I do actually agree with the tweets as fast fashion is fucking awful and I’d welcome Grace’s criticism if it wasn’t so hypothetical

It literally comes across as if she’s saying, “Yes I KNOW you couldn’t afford food this week but you absolutely should NOT spend £3 on a t-shirt even it’s the only thing you can afford. Yes I know Im fully kitted out in Shein right now despite the fact that I’m a millionaire but honestly it’s fine because none of this applies to me. Anyway buy Tala! #sustainable”

 

[Kc1233]

I quite like Flora too. And have alwayysss wanted to know her genuine opinions on Tala.



I can't see Flora doing that tbh. I think it was Grace's younger sister, Violet, as I think imo they always act quite immature together.

I'll criticise Grace til the cows come home but will defend Flora. She doesn't think she's a great runner, she's the first to admit that she's a 'beginner' when it comes to running and tbf her PBs are decent. I know her Tokyo marathon time was disappointing (in the sense that her pace was slower than everyone expected of her), but aside from that she's a decent runner. I also think that she uses her platform wisely and brings in professionals (her physio, her coach etc.) so she doesn't just give out amateur advice - she actually makes an effort to produce good content when it comes to running.

Is this the same person that posted a picture of herself in a bikini and made a lengthy caption about Black Lives Matter on the same post?

 

[hotcoffee12]

Oops i’ve hit some nerves. I’ll quickly exit so the Bank of Grace stakeholders and the Grace Bank Account stalkers can continue discussing her wealth like experts without any rebuttal. God forbid you disagree with someone on here.

I know you're being sarcastic, but as someone who has financially supported Grace by watching her videos, engaging with her content, buying her guides & products (including bands and Tala!!), etc I feel like her consumers are her stakeholders. I'm not fussed about her house, but I'm more concerned that she won't take any criticism from paying customers about her products or issues with business process. Her indifference to customer concerns is why I stopped following her and buying her stuff and came to this thread to vent.
