Cheryl Contee

Cheryl Contee looked at the way African Americans are portrayed in the traditional media and the realities of African American life. The glaring disparity prompted her and a colleague to found Jack & Jill Politics, an online site dedicated to presenting a “A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. Politics.” Started in 2006, the site has grown to become one of the top black blogs. Identified by Fast Company as one the Most Influential Women in Tech in 2010, Contee is also a partner at Fission Strategy, a company that helps nonprofits and other organizations use social media.
