Looking after legacies: from one Lee family to another

It was an honor of a lifetime to meet with and get to know the work of Shannon Lee this week. As the CEO of the Bruce Lee Family Companies and the Chair of the Bruce Lee Foundation, she’s got an important role to play in carrying out her father’s powerful and beautiful legacy. She came to Philadelphia to meet with students who participated in their foundation’s signature program, Camp Bruce Lee, hosted by the Asian Arts Initiative. My daughter was fortunate enough to take part in it. She learned and experienced so much. I was so moved to hear Shannon’s personal stories about her own journey through grief as she mourned the loss of her father and brother through most of her life, but the ways that she continues to be nourished by her father’s philosophies, teachings and memories. This resonates with me so much.

We gifted her with one of Chen Lok Lee’s lithographs to take home with her to Los Angeles. From one Lee Family to another Lee Family. ❤🙏
