Tonya Lewis Lee is the lead spokeswoman for the Office of Minority Health's national campaign 'A Healthy Baby Begins With You.'Married to an acclaimed movie director and herself a filmmaker, Tonya Lewis Lee has produced documentaries and TV miniseries revolving around subjects she's most passionate about.
Outspoken on issues involving women, children and race, one of Lee's next film scripts will explore the hot topic of infant-mortality rates in the African American community, its causes and the role that she says racism plays in it.
Lee's push for more research on the topic has brought her to New Orleans, where she will take part in a health fair at the Allie Mae Williams Community Center, 2020 Jackson Ave., today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The health fair is sponsored by the city health department and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
