<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">About Lee Mun Wah </span>
</b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">For more than 25 years, he was a resource specialist and counselor in the San Francisco Unified School District. He later became a consultant to private schools, working with students with severe learning
and behavioral issues. Lee Mun Wah is now the Executive Director of Stirfry Seminars & Consulting. This diversity training company provides educational tools and workshops on issues on cross-cultural communication and awareness, mindful facilitation, and conflict
mediation techniques. Thousands of people from government and social service agencies, corporations, and educational institutions have taken Lee Mun Wah’s workshops and partnered with Stirfry Seminars & Consulting on their diversity initiatives</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">His first film, Stolen Ground, about the experience of Asian Americans, won an honorable mention at the San Francisco International Film Festival. His most famous film about racism, The Color of Fear, won
the Gold Medal for Best Social Studies Documentary. Part Two of this film, Walking Each Other Home, won the Cindy Competition Silver Medal for Social Science. In 1995, Oprah Winfrey did a one-hour special on Lee Mun Wah’s life and work that was seen by over
15 million viewers internationally.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">In 2005, Lee Mun Wah directed and produced the film, Last Chance for Eden, a three-part documentary on sexism and racism. His newest book, Let’s Get Real –What People of Color Can’t Say & Whites Won’t Ask,
along with the film, If These Halls Could Talk, dealing with college students and their perspectives on race and racism, were both released in 2011.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Lee Mun Wah believes that we cannot wait until tomorrow for some charismatic leader to appear who will bring us all together. We each must take a stand and personally participate in this important journey
of confronting our fears and beginning a conversation with those we love and those we have been taught to fear. We cannot continue being separate and unequal without there being a cost to every generation. Our survival and the very future of our children depend
on all of us embracing our differences and our mutuality. If we can accomplish this in our lifetime, we can then look back and know that we have found a way to live together authentically and harmoniously, using and honoring all of our gifts and special contributions.
To Lee Mun Wah, that is the true meaning of multiculturalism.</span></p>
