Shoes Off Inside with MKT

#70 - "Angry Little Asian Girl", Lela Lee


Listen Later

As a college student, Lela Lee was an angry young woman, but she wasn't sure why. So one night, she took that anger and created a cartoon, "Angry Little Asian Girl". But, she didn't share it. In fact, she put her away FOR YEARS! A local film festival and a twist of fate, however, helped revive Lela's private, therapeutic project and the foul-mouthed "Angry Little Asian Girl" became a kind of hero to women and girls everywhere who were...you guessed it...ANGRY! Lela bootstrapped the raw, honest and hilarious cartoon series doing everything from selling t-shirts to creating a Kickstarter campaign. But how things have changed! Lela and the "Angry Little Asian Girl" along with her friends are ready to take it to the next level! May talked with Lela about the big news and shares her unusual story of success all thanks to a simple drawing that symbolizes the powerful intersection of being female and Asian.
