Lee Thomas, the Emmy-award winning reporter and author of Turning White will be guest at our meeting! From the website for this book, Turning White:
TURNING WHITE IS CHANGING LIVES
IN HIS THOUGHT-PROVOKING MEMOIR, Turning White, Emmy Award-winning TV broadcaster Lee Thomas shares the physical and mental battle he is waging with Vitiligo—a skin disorder that is literally turning him white. At age 25, Thomas had a dream job in a dream city—a feature/entertainment reporter for the ABC network’s flagship TV station in New York. Then he discovered a few white spots on his scalp, the small beginnings of a disease that has spread to half his face—a fact he covers with makeup when on camera. As someone in the public eye, Vitiligo has transformed not only Thomas’ color, but his life. “Even people who have known me for years avoid eye contact when they see my face without makeup for the first time,” he writes. Recently, Thomas turned the spotlight on himself during a special report for WJBK FOX 2 Detroit, where he is currently an entertainment reporter.
Lee’s inspiring story has touched people from South Africa to Sacramento. The book has lead this award-winning broadcaster around the country speaking at national conferences, businesses and literary events touching people with his empowering and motivational story.
