April Ryan Biography

White House Correspondent April Ryan has a unique vantage point as the only Black female reporter covering urban issues from the White House – a position she has held for over 25 years, since the Clinton era. She is now the longest-serving Black woman in the press corps. Her position as a White House Correspondent has afforded her unusual insight into the racial sensitivities, issues, and attendant political struggles of our nation’s past presidents.

Ryan can be seen on MSNBC. She is also the Washington D.C. Bureau Chief on TheGrio. She has been featured in Essence, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Elle magazines – to name a few. Ryan served on the board of the prestigious White House Correspondents Association. She is one of only three African Americans in the Association’s over 100-year history to serve on its board. She is also an esteemed member of the National Press Club. In 2015, Ms. Ryan was nominated for an NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Literary Work – Debut Author) for her first book. Her latest book, "Black Women Will Save the World," celebrates Black women’s resilience and unheralded strength, reflects on “The Year That Changed Everything” – 2020 – and discusses African-American women’s unprecedented role in upholding democracy.
