Author Grace L. Williams
Grace L. Williams is a scholar of feminism and economics who moonlights as a financial reporter and podcast co-host. Whether it's shares of a company or this season's must have, Williams is passionate about what we’re buying, why we’re buying it, and how it contributes to many a bottom line. Throughout her near-decade of self-employment, she has tapped into the mindset of consumers and "followed the money" to dig deep into what they prioritize and care about as it plays out against an ever-changing market landscape. Williams is the author of Give Her Credit, a book that spotlights women's banks in the 1970s and is an alum of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, where ironically she wrote a thesis on “Freeganism,” which is the magical art of surviving while buying nothing. Her writing has been featured in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Harvard Business Review, Yahoo Finance, Stephens, Financial Advisor IQ, and RIA Intel, among many others.
