From August 1981 through September 1981, Lee served as a law clerk to Barrington Parker of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.[1] Lee joined BET as Vice President of BET's legal affairs department and general counsel in 1986 after over five years as an attorney with Washington, D.C. based Steptoe & Johnson, a corporate law firm.[1] She has also served as BET's corporate secretary and president and publisher of BET's publishing division, which published Emerge, YSB, BET Weekend and Heart & Soul magazines.[2]

As CEO of BET Holdings[edit]

In March 1996, Lee became president and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of BET Holdings, Inc., replacing departing network founder, Robert L. Johnson.[3][4] In 2005, she became president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).[5] The company had nearly $100 million in revenue last year.[6]

As Chief Executive Officer of Black Entertainment Television[edit]

Under Lee, Black Entertainment Television has begun to move in a different format direction for the network. She increased the production budget by 50% and looked into incorporating original programming by getting 16 new shows for the new 2007 season.
