Dr. Gloria Lee has been a psychologist for over 50 years. Her inspirational journey began in the military, where she served as a humanitarian and soldier during the Vietnam War. Dr. Lee became the first woman, as well as the first Black woman, to lead two refugee camps in Cambodia and Malaysia, working with the International American Red Cross. She drew inspiration from the pioneering all-Black, all-female Women’s Army Corps (WAC) 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion unit, which was deployed overseas during World War II. She honors their legacy, recognizing that she stands on their shoulders.
This profound cinematic inspiration led her to create the “Women of Courage” show on WHPR, an independent station based in Highland Park, MI. Dr. Lee is the author of over 30 books. Her two key initiatives focus on Triple Negative Breast Cancer in Black women and Intimate Partner Violence. She earned both her master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan.
Dr. Lee lives by the motto: “In life, you choose what you want to do and who you want to be. Never let society dictate who you are meant to be or who you can become.”
Her two primary goals are to empower women under 40 to undergo baseline mammograms to promote early detection, thereby significantly reducing the risk of Triple Negative Breast Cancer, and to create a safe, empowering space for survivors and potential victims of Intimate Partner Violence. This will be the focus of her upcoming book, “She Be Dead.” Dr. Lee is deeply passionate about this work and believes it will provide groundbreaking insights for both survivors and mental health professionals alike.
