Lilly Singh

Lilly Singh is a Canadian entertainer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who has made an indelible mark across multiple industries, from digital media to television, literature, and advocacy. Known for her YouTube channel IISuperwomanII, which she created in 2010, Singh has amassed over 14.3 million subscribers and 3.53 billion views. Her engaging and authentic content earned her numerous accolades, including a YouTube Creator Award for reaching 10 million subscribers in 2016. Singh also released her documentary A Trip to Unicorn Island in 2016, showcasing her personal and professional journey.

Singh's career expanded beyond the digital world when she became the first person of Indian descent to host an American late-night talk show. In 2019, she launched "A Little Late with Lilly Singh" on NBC, making history as the first woman of color to host a major network late-night show in nearly three decades. Though the show ended in 2021, Singh continued to evolve her career, founding Unicorn Island Productions in 2018, which produces TV and film content, and she secured a first-look deal with top studios like Universal Television and Blink49 Studios. Her television credits also include serving as a judge on "Canada’s Got Talent," hosting CTV's "Battle of the Generations," and starring in the Disney+ series "The Muppets Mayhem."

An accomplished author, Singh's books "How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life" and "Be a Triangle: How I Went from Being Lost to Getting My Life Into Shape" became international bestsellers. Her books, much like her public speaking and live events, empower audiences with insights on leadership, authenticity, and equity, all delivered with her signature humor and vulnerability. Beyond entertainment, Singh is deeply committed to social causes, serving as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2017 and leading the "GirlLove" campaign to end girl-on-girl bullying. In 2024, she was appointed by the United Nations as an advocate for the Sustainable Development Goals, further solidifying her impact as a global voice for change.

As the founder of Unicorn Island Fund, Singh champions educational and financial opportunities for women and girls while challenging societal norms through storytelling. She has also grown a fast-expanding book club, Singh’s Library, which promotes South Asian voices in literature. Singh’s commitment to social justice, coupled with her accomplishments in entertainment, has earned her numerous recognitions, including being named one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 in Hollywood and Entertainment and one of TIME's 30 Most Influential People on the Internet. With a growing influence in both the creative and advocacy spaces, Singh continues to inspire through her work and her dedication to making the world a better place for underrepresented communities.
