Ambitious program presenter and producer, attentive planner and performer, her goal is to introduce the new to the world of programming, she was the first to launch a pioneering program that constituted a qualitative shift from digital to television and not vice versa around, titled “Gracy’s Edition”, and is currently preparing for a new program with Turkish stars in its first season.
isGrace RadyWho travels the world presenting his programs, and is a guest of the “Art” website in this dialogue.
How do readers of the “Art” site know Grace Rady?
My passion from the beginning has been to present programs, despite my long career. It’s a dream I’ve always had since I entered university, and I started designing it carefully. I wanted a distinctive idea that would add a new twist to the “Talk Show”, and the start was with “Gracy’s Edition” on my YouTube channel, I transferred it to “MTV” and “LBC Sat”. At the time, it was turned down, because the programs, according to them, have to comply with certain television rules, unlike what we are seeing today.
Regarding my career, I have an advertising and marketing background, I started my work in “Al Jazeera” as a producer, then moved on to marketing and advertising in a private company, until the transformation began in digital world, so I decided to open my company “Production Protocol”.
You are preparing today to present a new program that includes some Lebanese, Arab and Turkish stars. Can you tell us more?
It is a new program in its first season from Turkey, and it is a fun talk show, which will include famous Turkish names in Arab countries. We will see the other side of their characters, which we have not seen in their series, nor on their social networking sites. Of course, I will delve into their personalities, life issues, relationships and beliefs.
What has life taught you, in terms of personal or professional experiences?
The most important lesson is that the dreams we want to achieve, we must plan them correctly and meticulously with worthy people, in order for them to come true. We must also believe in our abilities, and not stop at failure sometimes, but rather learn from our experiences, to complete the path we plan, towards the only goal, which is to make our dreams come true. I also learned that in our journey in this life, our interests and our view of things can change through our experiences, and this is normal, but the most important thing is to believe that the dream will come true.
You previously produced your first lifestyle television show, Gracy’s Edition, which covers a wide range of topics including beauty, fashion, health and travel destinations. Who are the most influential guests you are still in contact with?
Through “Gracy’s Edition” I have met many influencers, and each of them has a long history of success that deserves to be highlighted. The most important thing is that I got to know the personal side of each of them and my concern was to communicate this matter to the public. For example, Lebanese chef Alain Jaam, who arrived in Paris without money and slept in public parks, then became the owner of the most important restaurant chain, and was awarded at the Elysée after learning and persevering.
We knew you learned the art of cooking for a segment of this program.
I am a person who loves to present programs and I have new ideas that I want to convey to the public, so I do not find the title “media person” to be correct, but I prefer to be called “program presenter”. As for learning the art of cooking, I discovered this hobby for myself through the “Gracy’s Edition” program, and the first chef I photographed with was Denis Fautison in France, he teaches cooking and I fell in love with this. art, and today I cook every day.
The “Gracy’s Edition” program put me to the test: in the episode of Al-Waleed Al-Halani, I went on horseback; While in the past I have had an accident where I fell off my horse and got very injured, and then I had to stay in bed for over a month, so when I got back on the horse it was quite a challenge.
Have you touched on important topics in your interviews with stars, especially bullying, tell us about your experience on the subject and who is the star who influenced you in this sense?
Egyptian actressHouria FargaliIt struck me a lot, especially that she showed me her picture after the accident, showing the distortion of her face, and it touched how she was bullied and compared to the “Sphinx”.
I would like to emphasize the importance of social communication, but we are losing a lot of technology, while we have to use it to commercialize positive values.
