We are excited to be posting our second podcast presented by the J.K. Lee Community. We’re going to be bringing you closer to individuals who are living examples of our tenets and oath. (If you missed our first episode, you can see it here: 2020 Gala)
Our podcast is being produced, researched and brought to life by students at J.K. Lee City Youth and J.K. Lee Black Belt Academy. In addition to learning about our tenets in action, our students are learning about communication, the media, language, performance, marketing and design! Special thanks to Miss Chloe Lee for all her research and work on this episode. (Parental note: Episodes are aimed at children ages ten and up. This episode touches on youth mental health issues.)
