Black History Month Spotlight: 8 Industry Shapers in Ad Tech & Digital Media

Jessica Lee, chair of the firm’s Privacy, Security & Data Innovations practice, is featured in AdMonster, where she is recognized among trailblazing individuals making waves in black ad tech and digital media.

In the article, Jessica highlights the necessity for increased racial diversity, advocates for a transformative shift, and emphasizes the significance of authenticity in corporate spaces.

“As a lawyer, I think about the importance of authenticity and visibility. While I see a lot of gender diversity, I don’t always see much racial diversity. I am hopeful that that is changing. I think it is essential to show up in these spaces as myself and be visible to others who may need to see someone who looks like them to understand there is a space here for them as well.” Jessica said, “Often, I show up in corporate spaces with braids streaked with blond highlights, wearing brightly colored clothes. That mix of authenticity and visibility is essential to demonstrate that we don’t have to mute ourselves or shrink ourselves to fit into spaces that aren’t made for us. We can create our own space.”
