Lisa Lee

Lisa Lee is a product specialist at Facebook by day and a community organizer by night.

As the former publisher of Hyphen magazine (www.hyphenmagazine.com), Lisa joined the organization in 2007 and since she became the publisher in 2008, the volunteer-run organization's annual budget has doubled through development and fundraising efforts that she has implemented and supervised; the organization is now able to compensate some contributors to the magazine. Under Lisa's leadership, Hyphen has also embarked on marketing efforts that increased Hyphen's readership by 100%. In 2010, along with the Strategic Planning Committee, Lisa led Hyphen to successfully complete its first three-year strategic plan.

In February 2011, Lisa cofounded Thick Dumpling Skin (www.thickdumplingskin.com), a community forum dedicated to discussing body image issues and eating disorders in the Asian American community.

Lisa was listed on Angry Asian Man's list of 30 Most Influential Asian Americans under 30 in 2009 and is the recipient of the 2011 San Francisco Emerging Leader Asian American Heritage Award. She is a frequent speaker on panels and at workshops on media-related issues for Asian American college students, young professionals and nonprofit managers. A graduate of U.C. Berkeley in Mass Communications and Theatre & Performance Studies, Lisa is committed to using her communications and social media background to create a more complex representation of Asian America.
