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 26 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 is the Washington D.C. Bureau Chief for TheGrio. She has been featured in Essence, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Elle Magazines to name a few. Ryan has served on the board of the prestigious White House Correspondents Association. She is one of only four 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 and the Gridiron Club. In 2015, Ms. Ryan was nominated for an NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Literary Work-Debut Author) for her first book. 2016 National Council of Negro Women, Mary McCloud Bethune Trailblazer. In 2017, Ryan was the Journalist of the Year for the National Association of Black Journalists.

In 2019, Ryan became an honorary member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and was recognized as the 2019 Freedom of the Press Award Winner by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Ryan was nominated in 2021 for the NAACP Image Award for Social Justice Impact. Ryan is a Baltimore native and Morgan State University graduate, and she gives back to this community by serving as a mentor to aspiring journalists and assisting with developing "up and coming" broadcasters. Ryan considers her greatest life's work raising her two daughters, Ryan and Grace- who are phenomenal young women.

​

Ryan is the author of the award-winning book, "The Presidency in Black and White," and "At Mama's Knee: Mothers and Race in Black and White," where she looks at race relations through the lessons and wisdom that mothers have given their children. Ryan is also the author of "Under Fire: Reporting from the Front Lines of the Trump White House." 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.
