About Justine Lee

I’m a nonprofit leader based in Brooklyn, NY, land of the Munsee-Lenape people.My interests include:AAPI Arts. I believe in the power of art to bring joy, sustenance, and meaning to our lives. I’m currently the programs director at Asian American Arts Alliance (A4), a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring greater representation, equity, and opportunities for Asian American artists and cultural groups. If you’d like to learn more, please reach out: Building. I’m an advisor for Living Room Conversations and co-creator of Make America Dinner Again –– both organizations focused on building understanding across differences. My work in the bridge building space began in 2016 and sparked a national movement featured in NPR, CBS Evening News, and The Guardian.Environmental & Climate Justice. When thinking about the future of our planet, I believe we must prioritize low-income communities of color that will be most impacted by higher temperatures and climate catastrophes. My interest led me to WE ACT for Environmental Justice where I serve on the Advisory Committee to support the Development and Communications teams.In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, papermaking, swimming, supporting artists, and spending time with my friends and family.
