As a high school student she had a 3.8 GPA and two basketball scholarships. But poor choices placed Desiree Lee on the wrong side of the law, causing her to face 135 years in prison, of which she served four.After release, she quickly found that it's not easy to get your life back.However, she became committed and determined to helping other young people avoid the path that she had taken. Today Desiree is a renowned speaker, activist, and founder of the non-profit, I AM DESIREE LEE LLC, to impact communities and prevent as many teens as possible from heading down the destructive path of incarceration. Her program's mission is to also increase the rate of high school graduates through mentoring and other community outreach services. Desiree uses her experiences as a convicted felon in a Georgia State prison to teach youth the importance of making good choices and decisions. Visit www.iamdesireelee.com
