After studying Sociology and Psychology at university, Lee spent the 1990s as a music journalist, first as a freelancer for magazines such as Mix Mag, Echoes, and Hip-Hop Connection and then as the Arts Editor for The Voice – at the time known as ‘Britain’s Best Black newspaper’. In addition to this he also wrote a book The Many Faces of Michael Jackson published by Ozone books in 1997. In 2013 Lee self-published his second book, ‘The Problem With Black Men’ which examined the causes of the social problems facing Black men in Britain and America today.
Lee worked as a Senior Press Officer in the Communications department of the University of East London from 2014 – 2019 before going on to lead the CREME Project in 2019. CRÈME stands for Communicating the Race Equality Message Effectively and was a joint project/collaboration between three large charities in the race equality sector – Race On The Agenda (ROTA), ARE (then Black Training and Enterprise Group) and the Runnymede Trust.
