Good lord she is so fckn sensitive. What she said to you is so disrespectful. Anyone who had any sense of professionalism would’ve probably just not replied to you and quietly changed the caption.

I once replied to a story of hers last year and asked why, if she is so environmentally focused, she hadn’t promoted the marches Greta Thunberg was doing. She got so angry at me for calling her out and started personally attacking me and saying similar tit — that I don’t know her, I should focus on myself, and focus on “wording things nicer.” I hadn’t even said anything mean, just asked why she hadn’t publicly supported.
I know right?! Like what other 'CEO' messages people that sort of stuff (or has the time), it's the type of response I'd expect from a relatively new/young influencer without much experience but Grace has been doing social media for so long now I was surprised that she actually had that sort of reaction! Also the way she says 'focus on yourself' like it's weird that we have said anything to her, she has 1mil followers its not like she's some random girl down the road who we're calling out - what she does/says actually carries influence and matters to some people.

I think the reason a lot of us are now disenfranchised with her is that we started out as fans, we were rooting for her (cue Tyra Banks) but it's just obvious now she doesn't care about/particularly like her audience.

It because Jackie Aina has promoted this initiative (not sure whether she started it or not) to have brands who posted BLM messages to put their money where their mouth is and actually show that they truly do support the community by hiring a diverse workforce.
Not going to lie, side eyeing some of those figures but if they are correct, fair enough 😂

And is this team like actually her team or is she talking about glenflow, gleam etc here😂
IKR and like who actually hires these ppl is it actually you or Genflow or whoever actually runs the businesses :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
'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.'

Yep - I called out the irony of her calling it 'our protest' on her story from inside her multi million £ house whilst there are people fighting the real fight, taking away from the BLACK voices we are supposed to be centering. She changed the caption on her story claiming it was a a typo and then actually DM'ed me calling me a 'sad person' and a 'hater' and damaging her mental health - I kid you not she genuinely called me a 'hater'! I had previously sent her 4-5 other messages saying how tasteless it is to be posting boxes of gifted food every day during a pandemic when there are people far more in need who the food could be sent to, and also called her out for hiding the #adgifted in her stories so they are barely visible - not very ethical advertising. I literally worded it exactly like that (except with a few more !!!'s) and apparently those criticisms are spewing hate. She said I don't know her and only know the snippets she posts online - I pointed out that every single thing I had said had been in response to something she had posted, not a personal attack!!! She even said that her and her friends like to laugh at my messages and find it funny how i have 'extreme reactions to the smallest things' - I think that just ultimately shows how she really just doesn't care about these issues.

She really must have lived a very comfortable life without ever being challenged about any of her words and actions if she truly thinks that constitutes hate - I guess it's just an easy cop-out to avoid having to reflect or admit wrongdoing. It would really help her gain some perspective if she actually hired/was close friends with anyone from a different background - not just POC but people from different socioeconomic backgrounds too. If I hadn't worked minimum wage jobs til I was 22 or made different friends at uni I'm afraid I would have been much more similar to her! I used to really like her and I still use her bands, but honestly I'm reading back her replies to my message and she actually is quite nasty when I never once made it personal.

(I found this page after receiving her DM a couple of days ago looking to see if anyone else had also had one - so glad I did, the stuff about Genflow etc is really eye opening!! (but not surprising lol))

Edit: I was trying to quote from the post above but I'm not sure how to do it sorry!
Lol Grace your white fragility is really showing huh. Also that remark about laughing at you with her friends is disgusting that is some weird bullying tit right there. What happened to #bekind

All the girls who take part in her work quizzes and went on the holiday to Porto were white, so those figures are slightly suspicious. She did say they have hired people in their 40s and 50s, but her actual teams are very small so its easy to say 50% of hires this year have been WoC when you're only hiring 2 maybe 4 people? Plus the model figures are much higher which shows they like to appear like a diverse workforce but in the office it's a slightly different story. Maybe I'm being too hard on her, but I just think she is shouting the loudest about BLM right now whilst her own sister is uploading bikini pics to instagram.


I think it's good she's calling out Oxford University on twitter, I hope they respond and kick out the racist students on the post she shared.

It's from Grace's profile. Her caption is long but basically explaining it's part of a challenge by Jackie Aina holding companies accountable for race representation with their employees.

As far as I can remember she has never featured any of these women of colour on the Tala page. I know some people might not want to be shown, but it's hard to trust her when she keeps showing us the same 18-21 year old clearly middle class white girls.

I'd also be interested to hear other equality and diversity figures- what ethnicities are the "other" POC she mentions here? how many LGBT people do they hire, how many disabled people do they hire? (But those two are more a personal thing cause disabled people can really get shafted when it comes to being hired)

I just wanted to ask if anyone else remembered the video where she said in school she was very, very aggressive and had problems with her anger, and got into trouble for ‘charging’ at a teacher in the hallway or something of the sort? This was a VERY long time ago and one of her older videos which I’m sure has been deleted but it’s something I’ve never quite forgotten about her, and I think you see her aggressiveness play out in other ways and through how she treats people who (rightly) criticise her online.
This is such an example of white priveledge, how was she not expelled?! Imagine a WOC had done something like this??

I don’t get how the stats work, didn’t she say it was a tiny team? If so why do they even have more than 1 manager?

I thiiiink she's including Genflow employees as I believe the founder and a lot of Genflow's employees are POC. I'm literally just assuming because like you guys have said it seems to me that all of grace's personal hires are young white women. However, I'm sure there are lots more people who work behind the scenes that we don't know about so I might be completely wrong

Ahh that makes sense!

The Genflow founder is South Asian I believe
 
I’ve never seen anyone else so intent on showing off their wealth / bragging.

How is she throwing a party whilst maintaining social distancing, in her tiny garden, when it's pouring it down with rain? I smell a few lies.

It's so funny actually as I have a friend who also had a garden party today for her birthday (I didn't go and advised them against it btw as I didn't think they'd keep up the social distancing) and, would you have it, despite the good intentions to begin with the social distancing slowly disintegrated and they ended up acting like normal and because of the tit weather ended up going inside.

I'm sure Grace and her fam intended for this garden party to be completely socially distanced and in line with lockdown rules (maybe it was!) but I also sincerely doubt that in a small garden like that they would have been able to keep it up for the entire party. I'm also genuinely curious as to how they managed to get that huge light up 20 delivered and through her house into the back garden whilst maintaining social distancing.

Hopefully they managed to maintain the 2m distance and didn't share any food, but if not hopefully they keep within the same social bubble for the next few weeks!

This could be a huge reach but part of the reason why I think that she hasn't hired any BIPOC for her inner circle is because she's conscious of how alienating one could have wider ramifications within the respective BIPOC communities.

Cancel culture is real, but doesn't really hold the same weight in white circles...
