421: Confidence On The Run With Virginia Lee

Rajee Aerie was born in India and contracted polio at a young age. Fortunately, she was adopted by a loving American family. Growing up she never let anything get in her way and this can do attitude has stuck with her. As a teen she started to notice that there was no one that looked like her in TV shows, movies or when she was flipping through magazines. The lack of South Asians and disability representation in media is an issue that is very important for Rajee and something she’s been working hard to change.  Rajee went to college and got her degree in broadcast journalism in hopes of being part of the change to include South Asians and people with disabilities. After she graduated from college, Rajee signed with a talent agency and landed a nationwide commercial a couple weeks later. The response was overwhelming because people across the country could finally relate to somebody that they saw on TV. Rajee has continued to appear in print and television commercials as well as represent various companies at trade shows and events. Her biggest accomplishments thus far has been to appear in a national campaign for Aerie in which she was featured on a billboard in Times Square and her op-ed in Teen Vogue, as well as USA Today and she did an interview for CBS national news. Rajee shares how writing an article on self esteem helped her realize and recognize that she has to look inward to find what the qualities and features that she loves and appreciates about herself.

Sara Porritt is the podcast host of Hear Us Roar which is a podcast featuring inspired conversations with fearless Asian women about how ideas and passions can ignite transformative journeys. Growing up as a first-generation Chinese immigrant in suburban Maryland with aspirations of becoming an R&B singer, Sara quickly realized that through her pursuits, she would be fighting for the love and respect of not only her family and native community, but also of an industry that has yet to have embraced someone of her background.  Since that time, Sara has shattered stereotypes by launching a record label at the age of 17 with a Grammy winning music producer, VJ’ing for MTVu while attending Princeton University, and starring in CW’s “The Next” alongside rapper Nelly. Sara shares how she was able to reinvent herself when she decided to join an all Asian female R&B singing group and how it helped her boost her confidence and be her true self in the process.
