About Our Keynote Speaker

As we shine the light on teens who have overcome relationship violence, we are honored to introduce our keynote speaker, April Hernandez Castillo. April is an author, actress, and speaker whose memoir, Embracing Me, chronicles her journey as a teen survivor of relationship violence through resilience, courage, and transformation. From the streets of the Bronx to celebrated roles in Freedom Writers and Dexter, April is a voice for survivors everywhere, reminding us that we have the power to rewrite our story. She takes the audience behind the scenes to the most intimate parts of her life and uses her voice and humor to ignite, empower, and educate.
