I was curious as to what became
of Alphaeus’ ex-wife Grace Fisher. I continued to research her life and discovered
she had an equally noteworthy life; a successful entrepreneur, educator and
pioneer in the fashion industry. She was also a columnist for the California Eagle
and the Los Angeles Sentinel newspapers. A socialite, her life was filled with
great achievements and tantalizing scandals that played out in newspapers.
Grace forged her own path in a time where few opportunities existed for African American women. Grace was a renaissance woman, a woman of her time. I’m surprised her story remains untold- until now.
