#AngelaYee (born 1/3/76) is a #mixed #American radio personality. She hosts the popular morning show #TheBreakfastClub with DJ Envy & Charlamagne tha God. Shes on the Board of Governors of the We Are Family Foundation & for the American Foundation for the University of the West Indies. She is the first-ever ambassador for the New York Public Library system. Since 2019, she has served as the BSE Global Diversity, Inclusion & Community Engagement Ambassador.

Angela was born to a #Chinese father & an #AfroMontserratian mother & raised in Flatbush, Brooklyn. “It was hard growing up in a #Black neighborhood & having a Chinese dad because black people had the most jokes about Asian people. My dad was like the only Chinese person in the neighborhood & they had a lot of jokes—nail salon jokes, Chinese food jokes, a lot of hair store jokes. It was a lot. But I was always very good spirited about it. I think it actually helped prepare me for a career in entertainment.”

“My dad has a huge family. My mom, who’s #WestIndian, is from Montserrat. Shes an only child & does not have a huge family at all. So, it’s interesting, I grew up in Flatbush, which definitely has a large West Indian culture. But, when it came time for holidays, I was with my Chinese side of the family. It’s a blessing now, but when I was younger, it was hard because my Chinese grandparents didn’t accept that my mom was black.”

Her career started with an internship with #WuTang Management assisting the CEO, Divine. She also wrote all the skits on GZA’s 3rd studio album. She then worked for #Eminem’s clothing line which led her to radio. She hosted Lip Service & The Morning After with Angela Yee on Eminem’s radio station, Shade 45, at Sirius. In 2010, she began hosting The Breakfast Club. She also worked as a correspondent for MTV2’s Sucker Free. Other endeavors include managing artists like GZA, Jay Electronica & 360, she owns a Juice Bar chain, Juices for Life, a book club Kickin It From The Stoop to promote reading/literature. Shes also a philanthropist working with Dress For Success, Hairless 4 Her Awareness, Coats for Kids, & Childhood Cancer events just to name a few. #aapiheritagemonth
