The Story behind Chris Lee (Public Speaker, Mentor, Credible Messenger, Facilitator)

Chris Lee's journey began nine years ago when he embarked on a path of personal transformation while incarcerated. Facing pivotal questions about his future, Chris found clarity and purpose through introspection and reflection. Through this process, he discovered a deep-seated desire to help others and make a positive impact in his community. "I began my career as a public speaker nine years ago while incarcerated, after asking myself three important questions: 1) Did I want to go home from prison? 2) Did I want to stay home from prison? 3) Did I know what it would take for me to stay home from prison? The first two answers were seemingly easy to answer, and after much thought I realized my purpose in life was to help others. Many individuals felt comfortable sharing their personal lives while I programmed as a barber cutting hair. I decided I could make a positive difference in my own community upon being released even without the clippers, and I haven’t stopped ever since." Upon release, Chris dedicated himself to continuing his mission of service and support. Determined to make a positive difference, he embraced public speaking as a means to share his story and uplift others.
