Ada Lovelace Day: Cheryl Contee

Ada Lovelace Day celebrates women excelling in technology.

Cheryl Contee went on from our team (when we were Issue Dynamics) to Fleishman-Hillard and then to her own consulting shop, Fission Strategy.  In each role, she's been a force for using websites, blogs, and social media to promote companies and causes online, as well as a popular speaker at industry events.  And in her spare time, she's built the Jack and Jill Politics blog into "one of the most influential African American political blogs on the internet this campaign cycle and a stalwart online advocate for Barack Obama and against racism in campaign discourse" (and got quite a bit of media attention when she revealed her identity as well).

Check out Cheryl's blogging or her Twitter feed, and please participate in Ada Lovelace Day by blogging about a woman in technology whom you admire!
