May Lee is a broadcast journalist who works as a host, anchor, correspondent, and producer. She launched The May Lee Show, a talk show focused on Asian-American topics and stories, collaborating with NextShark, the leading Asian online news source.

May Lee describes white supremacy as a plague that has been in this country for centuries. People need to speak up, push back, and stop pretending these events never happened. That’s how we build empathy and solidarity with communities outside of our own.

Asian women are constantly stereotyped as meek, timid, and submissive, but why is this the main perception? On this week's Motivational Mondays, May Lee shares how she created the "Evolutions of Asian Americans in the Media" course to explain the origin of these narratives and how to change them.

You’ll learn the inspiration behind May’s book, May Lee Live and In Person, how Mitsuye Yamada’s experience impacted her life, and how to debunk the stereotypes about Asian women.
