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.
