The Remi TV Influencer Awards, held on April 19 at the Providence Performing Arts Center, was nothing short of a monumental success. With a packed audience, high-energy performances, and overwhelming support from local leaders and the community, the night was described by many as the “BET Awards of Rhode Island.”
City officials, council members, and proud community members filled the theater in what many are calling the biggest award show and event of the year in the state. The atmosphere was electric as the audience cheered, screamed, and danced throughout the night. From the moment the lights dimmed to the final standing ovation, the Remi TV Influencer Awards delivered a powerful message of celebration, unity, and empowerment.
The show featured iconic performances by Carl Thomas and 702, whose unforgettable sets had attendees on their feet. As names were announced for each category, the crowd roared in support of the nominees, showing a level of excitement and pride that reflected the significance of the evening.
At the heart of the event was Dr. Remi Jones, CEO of Remi TV, whose vision brought the night to life. She presented each nominee with official state and city citations, along with a personalized letter of encouragement, reminding them that their impact matters and that their efforts are seen and appreciated.
“This is something we’ve never had before,” said one community member. “It felt like the BET Awards — right here in our backyard. We finally have something that celebrates us on a grand scale.”
The purpose of the event extended far beyond recognition. Ticket sales are being used to support workforce development and homelessness initiatives, reinforcing the show’s commitment to real, lasting community impact.
