Grace Beesley
Senior Account Manager
Grace is a curator of resources. Bring her questions or issues and, if she doesn’t know the answer, she’ll find it or the people who can provide it. She came to LimeLight with a background ranging from food marketing with Bush’s Beans to marketing luxury living to college students where she’d get into a sorority sister pose and say things like, “OMG, girl, he’s totally into you.” (But that resulted in at least one marriage, so it worked!)
“Play like you have never lost, practice like you have never won.”
She was born in Shell Knob, MO, with her parents both immigrating from Nigeria. She continues to learn intriguing details about her family’s history alongside her husband, Kyle — whom she describes as a saint and her biggest cheerleader. As her family story goes, Grace says, “Long story short, it’s a tale of forbidden love, tribal ex-communication, and controversy that has an awesome ending, because I am a byproduct of it!”

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Always wear a matching underwear set in case you get into a car accident and they cut your clothes off.
What’s your happiest childhood memory?
The times when my dad would play his guitar and I would sing, then he would hand me the guitar to play and he would sing. Ha. I wasn’t any good at first, but my guitar skills made my husband fall in love with me, so maybe I know a little something.
If I weren’t so good at my job,
I’d probably be an NFL trainer.
