Keynote Speaker: Creator of #OscarsSoWhite & Media Representation Strategist

April Reign Biography

April Reign transformed a single tweet into a global movement that revolutionized Hollywood. As the creator of #OscarsSoWhite, she catalyzed unprecedented change within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, compelling the entertainment industry's most prestigious institution to double its representation of people of color and women. This watershed moment in 2015 marked just the beginning of Reign's influence on media, culture, and corporate America.

A captivating speaker and masterful storyteller, Reign brings unique insight as both a former attorney and an acclaimed media strategist. Her ability to articulate complex social issues through compelling narratives has made her an influential voice in boardrooms, newsrooms, and classrooms across the nation. Whether addressing Fortune 500 executives or film industry veterans, she delivers actionable strategies for authentic inclusion and measurable change.

Featured in The New York Times, Time Magazine, and The Washington Post, Reign's analysis extends beyond entertainment to examine systemic inequities across industries. Her work has influenced hiring practices, content creation, and representation policies at major media companies and corporations. As a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, she brings analytical precision to conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, translating social justice imperatives into concrete institutional changes.

In 2025, as #OscarsSoWhite marks its tenth anniversary, Reign continues to challenge industry standards and champion meaningful representation. Her keynotes blend data-driven insights with powerful storytelling, inspiring audiences to move beyond performative inclusion toward lasting transformation. Through her creative consulting and strategic advisory work, she partners with organizations to create sustainable models for equity and authentic representation.

April Reign's journey from social media activist to industry changemaker demonstrates the power of decisive leadership in the digital age. Her presentations offer audiences both inspiration and practical frameworks for advancing equity in their own spheres of influence.
