Grace Byers

Grace Byers is an actress and activist whose breakout role was in Fox’s smash hit series Empire and who also starred on Marvel’s The Gifted. As a multiracial girl and CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Grace was bullied throughout her childhood, which inspired her first picture book, the New York Times bestseller I Am Enough—an ode to the empowerment of young girls. In her spare time, Grace volunteers with the nonprofit antibullying organization Saving Our Daughters. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, actor Trai Byers.
