My guest this week on the Bruce Lee podcast has known me my whole life.

Diana Lee in Asanto is a lifelong family friend and my father's goddaughter.

She is a martial artist, actress, director, writer, author, and producer.

You may have seen her recently as Morgan Ellsbyth in Disney's The Mandalorian.

For Diana becoming part of the iconic Star Wars franchise, seems like a dream,

but it is very much the real-life culmination of 30 years of dedication and hard work

as an actress, filmmaker, martial artist, former stuntwoman,

and now children's book author of the book The Curious Mind of Sebastian,

which she wrote with her son.

Diana also wrote, directed, and starred in the film The Sensei,

and she continues to teach martial arts around the world with her husband,

Ron Balicki, as well as Fight for Inclusion and Social Justice, wherever she goes.

She is a warrior woman who has certainly carved a unique and personal path in the world.

Diana credits her success to having the good fortune of being raised

in a charmed circle of renowned martial artists, actors, and stunt people

who paved the way for so much of the excitement in today's action-filled media.

Please check out the show notes for more detailed information about Diana's life and career.

But for now, let's listen to Diana share her warrior spirit with us,

as well as some great tips for staying safe on the streets for our AAPI communities

and all vulnerable groups.

Please welcome to the podcast Part of My Extended Family, Diana Lee, in Asanto.
