Misasha Suzuki Graham has spent her life attempting to bridge gaps, both professionally and personally, and foster understanding among groups of people. A graduate of Harvard College and Columbia Law School, Misasha spent over fifteen years as an accomplished attorney, specializing in intellectual property law and cross-border work with Asia, with over ten years spent at several international law firms honing these skills. Misasha is passionate about diversity, equality and inclusion in the practice of law as well as in her communities.
Her desire to make the world better for her boys led her to create Dear White Women with her biracial best friend of 26+ years, whom she met while walking out midway through a racial dialogue at Harvard about defining the multiracial identity. She is currently a facilitator, writer and speaker regarding issues of racial justice with a focus on youth, the co-author of Dear White Women: Let’s Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism, and the co-host of Dear White Women, an award-winning social justice podcast which helps White women use their privilege to uproot systemic racism without centering themselves in the process. Misasha has been featured on FOX, NBC, Good Day LA, Forbes, and other various news and media outlets, has spoken and moderated in front of law firms, corporations, schools, and other community organizations, and gave her first TEDx talk on the link between asking questions and affirming humanity in April of 2024.
Misasha is the proud daughter of a Japanese immigrant father and White mother, and the equally proud mom of two very active multiracial tween boys. They live in the Bay Area of California with their largely indifferent cat.
