About Lee Jourdan
Lee Jourdan is the former Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer for Chevron. He also is the co-author of From Shoeshine to Star Wars. The book is a memoir about his parents and their rise to great accomplishments. His father rose from shining shoes during the Great Depression to become a logistician playing a critical role in the development of the “Star Wars” U.S. nuclear defense system. His mother was a teacher and later an information technology manager who worked as a “computer” for aeronautical manufacturers in the 1950s, a role akin to the women memorialized in the movie Hidden Figures.
