Debra Delores Lee was born in St. Louis Missouri, on October 3, 1954, to the union of Louis Edward Lee and Sadie Louise Lee. Debra was the eldest of three. Debra was baptized at an early age, at Westside Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis. The family moved to Los Angeles in 1967. In 1971, the family moved to Kansas City, Kansas. Three years later the family relocated back to Los Angeles, California and stayed.

Debra began a career in retail sales where she worked for several years. She later began a career with the Community Coalition in Los Angeles where she excelled. Debra dedicated herself to community causes and community enhancement.
