April 19, 2025, will be remembered as the night Rhode Island experienced a cultural shift it had never seen before.
Inside the Providence Performing Arts Center, the Remi TV Influencer Awards brought together the city’s movers, creators, and leaders in a vibrant explosion of music, celebration, and pride. It wasn’t just another event—it was a statement.
Attendees compared the atmosphere to the BET Awards, but with a local heartbeat that made it even more personal. The sound of cheers and applause echoed through the building as names were called and awards were presented, giving long-overdue recognition to voices that have often been overlooked.
When 702 and Carl Thomas hit the stage, the energy reached its peak. Every performance, every acceptance speech, and every tear shed that night underscored one truth: Rhode Island had been waiting for this kind of night for a long time.
Leading the charge was Dr. Remi Jones, whose leadership turned a dream into a groundbreaking reality. Beyond the glitz, the show carried real-world purpose: ticket sales are funding workforce development and homelessness initiatives, ensuring the night’s momentum translates into real opportunities for the community.
The Remi TV Influencer Awards didn’t just fill a venue—it ignited a movement. And it’s only the beginning.
