This episode was recorded at Lake Austin Spa Resort with a live audience for their "Wise Women" Month.
Grace Young is a three-time James Beard Award–winning cookbook author, culinary historian, and community advocate with numerous accolades and awards. Known for her cookbooks Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen and Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge, Grace spent decades preserving Chinese culinary traditions. But in 2020, everything changed.
When the pandemic hit, Grace walked through Manhattan’s Chinatown and found a community in crisis. Shops were empty, restaurants were closing, and lives were being upended by fear and misinformation. Without any activist background, Grace stepped forward—using her voice and storytelling skills to raise awareness and rally support.
That spontaneous act of courage evolved into a nationwide movement to save America’s Chinatowns, earning her the Julia Child Award, the James Beard Foundation’s Humanitarian of the Year Award, and recognition as one of Forbes 50 Over 50.
In this conversation, recorded live at Lake Austin Spa Resort for Wise Women Month, Grace shares the profound lessons she’s learned about wisdom, community, and rediscovering purpose later in life. We talk about her activism journey, how she redefined her calling in her 60s, and why connection—and showing up for one another—is the truest form of wisdom.
