Grace Etsuko Lee is an author, speaker, trainer, international business woman, and president/founder of Grace Lee International. She spent the first 14 years of her life in Japan and primarily teaches social graces and what she call "The Universal Code of Conduct". Her mother, is from a very influential family in Japan and her father, an Ivy League educated diplomat, made sure she was well trained in both Japanese and Western social graces.

As an Author

In 2010, her first published book, Little Caterpillar in Training; A Culture in Transition and Its Mixed Child in Post-war Japan, got the attention of the Japanese American National Museum.[1] Grace is currently working with the museum to promote their National Diversity Education Program.

Lee has been quoted as saying "Americans are unique in the sense that they can pick the strengths and positive benefits from other cultures and incorporate them into their own society. This combining brings the best social graces from every culture to become the powerful American culture of the future."[2] This unique perspective is the culmination of her life experiences, which are documented in her book.
