Name: Jenni Lee

Country: United States of America

Jenni was adopted at the age of five from Yunnan, China, but has been raised in

Berkeley, California . Today, Jenni is currently studying economics and sociology at Mount Holyoke College, a premiere college for women in Massachusettes. She is featured in the award-winning documentary

Somewhere Between, which profiles the lives of four adopted Chinese girls and explores the themes of family, identity and belonging, asking the central question, “Who am I?”

Jenni has spoken about women’s empowerment around the world, including a TEDx

conference and several other events focusing on the impact women and children have on the world’s wellbeing. Her passions lie in both entrepreneurship and non-profit work, specifically directed towards women and children. When she is not studying for college exams, competing on the tennis team or working on her own start-up, Jenni returns to China every summer to volunteer her time in Chinese orphanages and rural schools. Through her hands on work with marginalized individuals and witnessing their extraordinary untapped potential, Jenni believes women and men, together, are a critical part of the solution for global development.

Jenni aspires to be an integral part of a think-tank that endeavors to foster progress for marginalized groups worldwide.
