Keynote Speaker

Eva Marcille

Eva Marcille emerges as a formidable presence within the entertainment sphere, demonstrating remarkable prowess across multiple domains, including acting, modeling, entrepreneurship, and television hosting. Widely recognized for her breakthrough triumph as the victor of America’s Next Top Model, subsequently attaining a prestigious COVERGIRL contract, Marcille swiftly commanded the fashion landscape with her unparalleled elegance and flair, gracing the covers of Essence, Women Health and SHEEN to name a few. Transitioning seamlessly into the realm of acting, Eva enraptured audiences with her stellar performances in acclaimed shows such as “Everybody Hates Chris,” “House of Payne,” and “Smallville,” ultimately securing the pivotal role of Tyra on “The Young and the Restless,” a portrayal which earned her esteemed accolades, including two NAACP Image Awards. Moreover, her creative acumen extends to production, notably with the 2022 film "Christmas Fumble" for the OWN Network, where she not only starred but also served as a producer, with multiple other movies and television shows under her belt. Currently, Eva assumes the lead role in the acclaimed series "All the Queens Men," a prominent fixture on BET & BET+ that has garnered widespread acclaim and is now in its 4th season. Her magnetic presence and undeniable talent have firmly established her as a luminary in Hollywood.

In 2018, Eva expanded her repertoire into the domain of radio, undertaking the role of co-host for the nationally syndicated “Rickey Smiley Morning Show”. Her adeptness and contributions facilitated the show's receipt of two Marconi awards during her tenure, indicative of her impactful presence and resonance with audiences. Simultaneously, Eva also started hosting a weekly “The Undressing Room” podcast sponsored by MACY’S.

Beyond her professional achievements, Eva remains steadfastly committed to philanthropic endeavors, leveraging her influential platform to champion causes close to her heart. She fervently supports charities such as the Midnight Mission and Home Light, providing essential aid to vulnerable populations, particularly abused single mothers endeavoring to rebuild their lives. Currently she seats on the board of Meals On Wheels Atlanta, helping to provide meals to seniors across the Atlanta area.

Hailing proudly from Los Angeles and fulfilling her most prized role of a devoted mother to three, Eva Marcille epitomizes resilience, talent, and altruism. With "All the Queens Men" serving as a testament to her multifaceted abilities and enduring appeal, she stands poised to leave an indelible imprint on the entertainment industry for years to come and shows no signs of slowing down.

What is the KiKi?

[kee-kee] – A social gathering, often for the purpose of casually kicking back, fellowshipping, and sharing stories.

The KiKi started in 2017 when more than 100 community members came together to dream, build, and imagine what was possible. That moment became the foundation of IBBG as we know it today.

The KiKi continues to honor that legacy, creating spaces to explore the complexities of parenthood, entrepreneurship, and community care through a morning filled with connection, good food, and meaningful dialogue.
