Hi, I’m Bert Lee, a college speaker, graphic designer and dancer. I understand how confusing and scary it can be for College students to meet expectations and set themselves for success.
As a Hmong American growing up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, I’ve faced my adversities in project homes, the educational system and within myself. My identity was filled with self-doubt and expectations that I was afraid of. I felt powerless, loss of control over my life and who I was as an individual. This mindset deluded my attitude to think that my life and college experience sucked.
It takes courage, boldness and hours of self-reflection to become our best selves.
I want to empower students that it is only when we truly self-reflect, listen to ourselves and our reality. Bringing out the greatness within our attitudes, that we can truly feel brave enough to navigate through life and College.
