The Rev. Violet Dease Lee is the assistant pastor at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City. She is the first and only woman to serve in this role and the first woman to preside over the ordinances in the church’s history of over 200 years. She has been with the Abyssinian Baptist Church since 1998. Prior to joining the church, she served in many social work capacities, contributing especially to the lives of men and women living with HIV/AIDS. She is currently also working towards her doctorate in religious education at Fordham University. Rev. Lee speaks in the voice of Sojourner Truth, in an excerpt of her autobiography discussing her name change.
