Acerca de esta escucha

A riveting memoir by the former CEO of Black Entertainment Television (BET), about the glamorous and ugly moments of being a high-powered Black woman executive in the entertainment industry.

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 binge-worthy, 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-hear 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.

Excellent

The read was consistent with most of what we knew. However the eye opening experiences that Mrs Lee encountered were extreme. But so was what she did to Sheila Johnson Bob's wife. Mrs Lee should've apologized publicly!

Debra Lee has a real story

I have a deeper appreciation of Debra Lee's work, worth ethic and strength. Her stories of growing up, making waves and forgiveness is one that needs to be shared.

Her side of the story

I read this book because I wanted to hear her side of the story about the sorted affair she had with her married boss. I had read Sheila Johnson's book, so I wanted to give Debra the benefit of the doubt.
Her book was good. I appreciated hearing how she climbed the corporate ladder. it's unfortunate that all her accomplishments were overshadowed by a dismally bad personal choice. Anyways, I'm glad she had the courage to tell her story. I found it insightful & instructive.

“There is always something behind the smile”

Worth the read or listen…good nuggets of wisdom from a black women’s perspective who didn’t always get it right, but didn’t give up…did her best and held on!

Disappointed

Definitely a good story, my only disappointment is the situation with Bob Johnson. But her tenacity, loyalty, and persistence are to be commended. She was definitely a staple at BET and I’m glad she is now enjoying her flowers!

Nuggets Dropped More Than Anything Else

Fueled with nuggets and courage to become a female leader in this male dominated field. For far too long we've had to retrieve wisdom from men about leadership. To have the opportunity for a woman, especially a woman of color share her story is much appreciated and needed. Thank you Ms. Lee for your truth and bravery. Thank you for your Trailblazing efforts to help the next black woman prepare to lead where we are constantly told that we can't and won't. We see ourselves in executive suites AND seats because of your unwavering ability to lead.
