*Well-Read Black Girl - Book Club Pick* As an incredible
glass-ceiling breaker and the woman who brought timeless television
shows like The Game and Being Mary Jane to cable, Debra Lee has
been the visionary responsible for elevating Black images and
storytelling for decades. Now she's telling her own story, in an
intimate and eye-opening tale about the triumphant and tricky
moments of a career in entertainment. I Am Debra Lee is a
page-turner, filled with deeply personal revelations, juicy
celebrity intel, and electrifying behind-the-scenes stories that
reveal how she went from a girl raised in the segregated South to
leading the first Black company traded on the New York Stock
Exchange and how she juggled social responsibility while managing a
company targeted toward the Black community. In a rousing
narrative, Lee writes: "I don't just love Black culture-the magic
in our hair, the swagger in our steps, the particular way we can
say 'alright now' to fit our changing moods-Black culture saved
me." In her exciting debut, she answers all of our questions about
building an unapologetically Black enterprise as a Black woman.
What to do when you're forced to attend a board meeting eight weeks
after a C-section. How to manage a team of men when you're the
first female CEO at the company. How she learned the hard way to
say no to those in power when their vision didn't align with her
purpose. I Am Debra Lee tackles lessons that women CEOs rarely dare
to. She addresses her personal struggles with motherhood and
"having it all," navigating reproductive choice, fertility, and
#MeToo while achieving great professional success. Being Black and
a woman in corporate life isn't easy for anyone. But Lee shows how
she evolved from a shy girl who dreaded public speaking to becoming
a force to be reckoned with as she helped build the leading
entertainment company for Black audiences and consumers of Black
culture globally. ?I Am Debra Lee is a must-read for all strivers
in any industry. Lee is a truthteller about the critical choices
that Black leaders face. As she has done her whole career, in this
book, she opens the door for others to come after her, by sharing
the truth behind her own inspiring story of power, perseverance,
and success.
