Born in a mud hut in central Africa and given only a day to live due to disease and malnutrition, Graci Harkema has walked a long road to her current position.
Harkema is founder of the newly minted, Grand Rapids-based speaking; consulting; and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) leadership training firm Graci LLC.
She left her previous position as Founders Brewing Companyâs inaugural diversity and inclusion director on Oct. 25 over what she described as Foundersâ failure to listen to her feedback and counsel as the company sought to âincrease (its) reputation in diversity and inclusion and regain the trust of the LGBTQ and people of color communitiesâ in the midst of former Detroit taproom employee Tracy Evansâ lawsuit accusing the brewery of racial discrimination.
