We are so wonderfully excited to announce that Tracy Levesque will deliver our keynote talk at WordCamp Philly.<\/p>\n
A leader in the Philadelphia tech community, Tracy Levesque<\/a> has been making websites and supporting WordPress for as long as we’ve known her. She’s been an organizer of WordCamp Philly and WordCamp US, a GDI Philly instructor, the organizer of Lesbians Who Tech<\/a>, and so, so much more.<\/p>\n Her address will take us on a\u00a0 journey of Philadelphia\u2019s loving, independent and pioneering spirit, and how you can use it to inspire you to help make a better internet. Together with her wife, Mia Levesque, Tracy co-founded and co-manages YIKES<\/a>, a web design and development business that\u00a0calls Philly’s Fishtown home. Under Tracy’s and Mia’s leadership,\u00a0YIKES has earned B Corporation Certification<\/a>. YIKES is a certified LGBTBE by the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and a certified WBE by the Women\u2019s Business Enterprise National Council.<\/p>\n As a web agency, YIKES both designs and develops websites, and has a range of popular WordPress plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tracy has long spearheaded Philadelphia-area efforts to grow inclusion within the local tech community. In the past few years, her efforts and work have garnered notable attention at a national level and beyond.\u00a0Tracy has delivered diversity-focused presentations at WordCamp US<\/a> and for WordPress VIP’s clients.<\/p>\n A huge fan of television, Tracy co-founded LezWatch.TV which asserts itself as\u00a0the Greatest Database of Queer Female, Non-Binary, & Transgender TV<\/a>. Together with her co-founder, Mika Epstein, Tracy has worked to highlight and promote characters on TV for the best representations of fully developed LGBT characters.<\/p>\n When she’s not building sites or watching television, Tracy cycles about Philadelphia, snapping amazing photos of abandoned buildings<\/a>.<\/p>\n We have no doubt that many people will buy tickets to this year’s WordCamp just to see Tracy present. Be sure to get your ticket<\/a> so you can be there too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are so wonderfully excited to announce that Tracy Levesque will deliver our keynote talk at WordCamp Philly.
