MEET HOL GUEST: LEE MUN WAH
In episode 20 of HOL, Lee Mun Wah joins Rita for a conversation about the multifaceted experiences of his journey as a Chinese American man from Oakland, CA. After losing his mother from a fatal gun shooting, Mun Wah began his journey of confronting issues of racism and social injustices through workshops/trainings and eventually founded the StirFry Seminars and Consulting in 1994.
He has touched over 600,000 people from educational, government, corporate, and social services backgrounds with his revolutionary diversity trainings/workshops. In addition, his internationally acclaimed documentary films such as “The Color of Fear” have been seen by over millions of viewers. In 1995, the Oprah Winfrey show also produced a one-hour special that highlighted Mun Wah’s life and the impact of his work.
Today, Mun Wah is working on a few more books, hosting trainings/online webinars, and his life story will be coming out on the River of Jay!
