Why she might be annoying:

She is a hashtag activist.
Her name sounds like 'April Rain.'
Her website is called Reign of April.

Why she might not be annoying:

She has practiced law for nearly twenty years.
She was the managing editor of BroadwayBlack.com and the editor-at-large at Nu Tribe magazine.
She was previously responsible for stopping a scheduled celebrity boxing match between George Zimmerman and DMX with the trending hashtag #StoptheFight.
The OscarsSoWhite hashtag sparked a movement that successfully attained greater visibility for people of color in the film industry.
In an article for Vanity Fair, she wrote: '[OscarsSoWhite] is not about quotas but about asking inclusive questions when staffing films—from the actors cast to the boom operators and craft-services teams hired. It is about operating outside of the same networks that have been used for years and instead providing opportunities to talented craftspeople from groups not usually included.'
