May Lee, a veteran of television both in the United States and internationally, shares her colorful and inspiring story of how a shy, insecure youngster ofKorean descent became an intrepid, high-profile international journalist and TV host. Her often gritty stories reveal the challenges that she faced along the way, being both Asian and a woman, in a highly judgmental, often unforgiving industry. May attributes her ability to confront and overcome those difficulties to her belief in what she calls her 4 Ps for Success: passion, perseverance, persuasion, and patience. May recounts her professional journey starting as a naïve news intern in San Francisco to her rapid rise as a journalist working for top media networks including NHK, CNN, CNBC and Oprah Winfrey's women'schannel, Oxygen. The desire to make a bold break from the mold led May in 2005 to take the entrepreneurial step of starting her own company, Lotus Media House. Based in Singapore, she launched her own unique, groundbreaking talk showabout the modern women of Asia. May's career, driven by her passion for sharing people's stories through the dynamic medium of television, has required herto draw on all her resources of patience, perseverance, and powers of persuasion. And she has had to do so while facing and overcoming loneliness, fears, and uncertainty in her personal life. Her account of the many ups and downs both professionally and personally is raw and honest, with as many cliffhangers as an afternoon TV soap opera. May Lee Live and in Person is the first book to be written by and about an Asian female television journalist who has experienced both the U.S. and international media.
