Viral TikTok star Reesa Teesa is slated to give the keynote address at Clark Atlanta University's inaugural ‘CultureCon on Campus' event. The event, which takes place on April 12, is an open conference for students aspiring to learn more about and connect with professionals in the creative space.

“The opportunity to speak at CultureCon On Campus is an honor,” Reesa Teesa told DeAsia Paige of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I look forward to engaging with the students and sharing how my storytelling birthed and catapulted a new career path that will hopefully inspire and empower students to fearlessly pursue their creative endeavors.”

Internet-savvy users may be familiar with Reesa Teesa (Tareasa Johnson) for her expansive TikTok series called “Who TF Did I Marry?” The 50-part series was a hit on the app and drew in over 400 million views. Her story about her ex-husband “Legion” helped boost her to 4 million followers on the app. She's also had appearances on Good Morning America and The Tamron Hall Show.
