Raised by a single mother as one of three kids in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Gracie Jones always had dreams. One dream was to be a model and to study fashion at study fashion at Parsons School of Design in New York. Disappointment came as she had to drop out because she could not afford it.

Undeterred, Gracie instead worked four jobs to put herself through college, studying studied global business management and business administration, and then interior and event design.

Soon into our conversation, I could tell I was talking to a very proud, intelligent and strong black woman. Her personality was at the same time, unobtrusive, embracing, confident and laced with the perfect blend of humor and humility. At the same time I could hear the fire that burns, within Gracie Jones, to make things happen in a major way.

Undeniably, Gracie Jones is a force in the event planning realm. Known as a passionate and goal-driven person who gives her best in everything she does; Gracie has been gracing the events field for more than 25+ years, working with world-class events and traveling to different places.

Having spent years working for global pharmaceutical companies she is now Founder and President of her own company, Opulent Events by Gracie with a specialty in Pharmaceuticals, non-profit & amp; fundraisers, client events, finding venues and organizing scientific conferences, and workshops around the world.
