"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"-- Lee has been the visionary responsible for elevating Black images and storytelling for decades. Now she's telling her own story: about the triumphant and tricky moments of a career in entertainment. Filled with deeply personal revelations, juicy celebrity intel, and behind-the-scenes stories, Lee reveals how she went from being a girl raised in the segregated South to leading the first Black company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Being Black and a woman in corporate life isn't easy for anyone, but Lee is a truth-teller about the critical choices that Black leaders face." -- MCPL Catalog
