Debra Lee Shares her Journey from attorney to Chairman of BET

A one-on-one with BET Networks Chairman and CEO Debra Lee at the Women of Power Summit. She talks about her unexpected journey to becoming one of the most powerful executives in cable television and the highest-ranking African American at the media giant Viacom. Then, we profile one of the most influential woman in journalism, former editor-in-chief of Essence magazine, Susan Taylor. From there, we hear from Helen Shelton, a senior partner at the marketing firm Finn Partners. In her own words, she shares her secret to navigating corporate America. And finally, we recognize the tireless effort of Julieanna Richardson, who is documenting and preserving individual African American stories through her company The History Makers.
