On April 19, 2025, the Providence Performing Arts Center was transformed into a stage of celebration, recognition, and history as the Remi TV Influencer Awards took center stage. Widely described by attendees as “the BET Awards of Rhode Island,” the event marked a powerful cultural shift—the first major award show of its kind in the state dedicated to honoring influencers, creatives, community leaders, and change-makers from across the region.
The energy in the room was electric. From the red carpet to the final standing ovation, the event delivered exactly what the community had been missing: a space to shine. Local officials, city council members, and proud community members filled the venue, cheering loudly as names were called and stories were celebrated.
Headlining the night were live performances by R&B legends 702 and Carl Thomas, whose appearances had the audience on their feet and dancing. For many, it was more than just a concert—it was validation.
“This is something we’ve never had before,” said one attendee. “It didn’t just feel like an awards show—it felt like ours.”
At the heart of the evening was Dr. Remi Jones, the founder and CEO of Remi TV. Her vision brought the community together not just to celebrate, but to uplift. Each nominee received official state and city citations, along with personalized letters of encouragement from Dr. Jones—a powerful reminder that their work matters.
The awards show wasn’t just about recognition. It was also about purpose. Proceeds from ticket sales are being used to support workforce development programs and homelessness prevention initiatives, tying the celebration directly to impact.
The response from both attendees and public officials was overwhelmingly positive. “The reviews from the city and council members have been incredible,” Dr. Jones shared. “And this is just the beginning.”

The Remi TV Influencer Awards didn’t just make history—it raised the bar. For Rhode Island, this wasn’t just a show. It was a movement.
