HLEE LEE, OWNER
Hlee is an experienced multimedia professional dedicated to community storytelling. She’s passionate about utilizing media, programs, and projects to drive civic and creative engagement. She’s an experienced community leader adept at bringing people together to achieve shared goals; leveraging strong organizational and creative skills to build high-performing teams. She’s committed to making a positive impact through collaborative initiatives. As a dedicated community builder, Hlee has experience designing and managing programs that empower youth, support elders, and foster civic engagement. Throughout her career, she have been committed to uplifting diverse voices and strengthening local communities.
With over 20 years of experience in media production, Hlee founded the other media group to offer media production and project management services, aiming to provide well-paid freelance opportunities for BIPOC artists and organizers. Central to her work is the belief in the principle of "nothing about us without us," which she actively upholds in all her endeavors.
Her commitment to community-focused narratives was sparked by her positive experiences with programs such as Twin Cities Public Television’s “Don’t Believe The Hype,” ThreeSixty Journalism, and initiatives at In Progress. She recognizes the importance of allowing individuals from non-dominant cultures to share their stories in their own voices and terms.
Apart from being the founder and owner of the other media group, Hlee is also involved as the producer, co-host, and co-creator of the podcast and radio program Counter Stories. In her rare moments of leisure, Hlee enjoys traveling, fishing, camping, and spending quality time with her extensive Hmong family. She currently resides in St. Paul with her husband and their three rescue dogs.
