Former Vice Mayor of Cincinnati, A City Once Torn By Civil Unrest
Alicia Reece has electrified crowds as a speaker at the National Democratic Convention, National Rainbow/PUSH, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation conventions and conferences, and a panelist at the National Urban League.
The former Miss Grambling State University has been featured on AOL.com, Ebony, VIBE, and JET magazines as a young leader in the U.S. She has been described as “the future” of politics in Ohio. She has a resume filled with historic ‘firsts’ including being the first African American woman to file to run for Mayor in Cincinnati’s history, and the youngest woman to be considered for the Democratic ticket for Lt. Governor and Secretary of State.
Ms. Reece not only became the youngest woman in history to be elected (at large) to Cincinnati City Council at the age of 28, in November of 1999, but she went on to be elected three terms receiving over 100,000 votes and becoming one of the most visible Vice Mayors of a major city in the country as she was at the forefront of dealing with racial riots and unrest in Cincinnati in 2001. Ms. Reece was the face of the city on national and international media and became the city’s lead negotiator in federal court with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Fraternal Order of Police to settle the racial profiling lawsuit resulting in radical law enforcement reforms including an anti racial profiling law.
This dynamic young woman has also been recognized nationally for her work in renaming a street surrounding the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center along the Ohio River in Downtown Cincinnati, Rosa Parks Street in honor of the late “mother of the civil rights movement.”
Ms. Reece has appeared nationally and internationally on CNN, FOX, BET, Nightline, The Russ Parr and Tom Joyner Shows as well as in Black Enterprise, Sports Illustrator, the Washington Post, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, and Detroit Times.
Currently she is the Vice President of Marketing at her family’s 35 year old Advertising, Promotions, and Management Company. She has been honored as one of the Cincinnati Business Courier’s 40 Under Forty Business Leaders.
Ms. Reece is a young woman who refuses to sit in the back of the bus and works to build the 21st century Underground Railroad to economic equality and social justice.
