PRESS

Engage Communities Better

Get to the Heart of Local Communities

I love local journalism. Reporting in multicultural and alternative media plays an important role in communities, and its different from mainstream, corporate press. Check out the free press my clients  and I have enjoyed.

2018 Ladies-Only Night Out

Lee created and press release and event FAQ sheet, and initiated contacts to the city for promotion of Arabian Knights - a women's only event in Edmonds, Washington.

Produced by Michaela Corning of Barak Beauty Collective  and Chema Jamel Oh, owner of Boutique Al Firdaws, the evening featured music, dance, a runway fashion show, grand bazaar, and Arabic food. It sold-out and was attended by 500 women. Our efforts also helped get a city official to attend.

2017 Malikah Festival

Co-produced by Zena Consulting

I wrote grants and awarded grants to produce Malikah Festival, for Redmond's Arts & Culture Commission, in collaboration with  minority businesses, city agencies, and a nearby mosque.

Both events included a modest fashion show, dance, cultural discussions, and local vendors selling home and fashion items.

"On one level this festival is about fashion. But it’s also designed to challenge your assumptions and help you learn more about your neighbors.”

“We create a counter-narrative that maybe neutralizes 'other-ization' that’s been going on in our public dialogue. Mainstream media is perpetuating this simplistic negative stereotyping of certain American communities."
