Shoes Off Inside with MKT (fka The May Lee Show)

Three trailblazing Asian American women in TV journalism and Hollywood join forces to rattle some cages and dismantle tired old stereotypes about race, age, sex and culture. Award-winning journalist May Lee and actresses Kelly Hu and Tamlyn Tomita (a.k.a. MKT) take on topics that aren't often discussed in the most open, authentic and, sometimes, hilarious way because they are unafraid to be fully themselves. They're all 50+ and fabulous so they got nothing to hide and they are beyond the point of caring about what other people think! So take your Shoes Off Inside and join MKT to engage, contribute, challenge and, most importantly, have fun! Lots and lots of FUN!

September 01, 2020 • The May Lee Show

Creating original videos online has never been easier or more popular thanks to the explosion of user friendly apps that are giving anyone and everyone a creative outlet to be seen and heard. Until recently, TikTok seemed to be the only game in town, but fears of privacy breaches and a presidential threat to ban TikTok in the U.S. have helped elevate the app Triller. What started in 2015 as a modest platform to help struggling musicians edit and distribute music has now become THE social media platform for all kinds of content creators and artists like Snoop Dog, Cardi B and Alicia Keys. Mike Lu, founder and CEO of Triller, had big dreams for his company when he launched it and now those dreams are becoming a reality. In this episode, Mike shares his beginnings, the stunning growth of the company now and the huge plans he has for Triller going forward.
