Royelen Lee Boykie
Food & Water Watch
Royelen Lee is an online public relations expert with specialties in online programming, grassroots advocacy, and fundraising. She’s also skilled at developing web-based campaigns, online communities, HR, and event planning. She's currently the Chief Digita Strategist for the Food & Water Watch.
When she went to work for AOL in 2000, every day -- in one of their 5 cafeterias, there was a "retirement" party for someone WHO WAS 40 years old! She sat at a desk where someone had recently been laid-off -- she was 27 and worth $27 million. Working at AOL was great fun but sh got there a little late to enjoy early retirement. She did get experience which she now puts to work for important matters like food, water, consumer advocacy. And she's having a BETTER time working than all those early retirers. That's what she keep telling herself, anyway . . .
