Today, she has established herself as an entertainment industry powerhouse and is often referred to as the talent whisperer, and as such, she manages the careers of Bermudian artist Kaelyn Kastle and Atlantic Records recording artist Raiche. Additionally, she is the Creator and Executive Producer of the annual Pink Awards Gala highlighting breast cancer warriors and celebrating the achievements of changemakers in a broad range of fields and The Gathering 824: A Soul Revival (where she weaves the faith-based culture into a high-energy, spiritual celebration). Recently, April was selected as an honoree by the Black Media Honors organization, a consortium that annually awards African American and minority trailblazers in media.
April’s gift of connecting aligned souls, curating signature strategic campaigns, building innovative business strategies earned her a coveted seat at the table with the upper echelons of the entertainment industry. As a former executive and consultant for major record labels such as Def Jam, Warner Brothers, Sony Music, Universal Music, Atlantic Records, Empire, among others. She has collaborated with industry elites such as Sean “Diddy” Comb’s Bad Boy Entertainment and RevoltTV, Ceelo Green, PJ Morton, Monica, Dallas Austin, Wu Tang Clan, among others.

Inspired by the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, April launched her podcast “Just Breathe with April Love’, where she and her guests discuss personal breathtaking, transformational moments of their lives while encouraging listeners that they too can overcome their most challenging moments. “I have a calling. I knew I had to do something to amplify love and make an impact, the world needs guidance and inspiration right now.” says April. One of the most impactful moments April experienced was her Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis on December 24, 2009. Disappointed in the lack of financial, emotional, mental and spiritual support available to underrepresented groups of women, especially Black women, April founded her Pink in December celebration during her own battle with breast cancer. This event has grown and evolved into the much celebrated Pink Awards. Now beyond her 12th year of survivorship, she continues to support breast cancer warriors and survivors through all of her philanthropic efforts, including the annual Pink Awards.
April Love is an elite female entrepreneur and a celebrated philanthropist who continues to eliminate barriers and raise the bar for progression. With an overwhelmingly successful career that spans more than two decades, she is pivoting from the world of Public Relations and is stepping into her passion-filled purpose: connecting positive energies into impactful endeavors. She continues to inspire her peers and the next generation of female business leaders. While many would say that April has already achieved many levels of human greatness, according to April, she’s just getting started.
