May Lee has been a broadcast journalist/host for 30 years. She worked both as a US based and
international anchor, host, correspondent and producer. In early 2020, Lee launched her vodcast (video-podcast) “The May Lee Show”, a production of her company, Lotus Media House. The show focuses on AAPI people, issues and trends. But COVID-19 and the rise of anti-Asian hate motivated Lee to use her platform to speak up about and speak out on Asian xenophobia and the historic reasons behind it. Because of her efforts to bring attention to the crisis, Lee labeled herself an “Accidental Activist”. In July of 2020, Forbes recognized Lee as one of “50 Over 50” women making an impact on the world.
