Eager to cut through the noise and understand what drives human behavior? Dr. Tunisha Singleton is the game-changer who decodes it. Armed with bold acumen and a Ph.D. in Media Psychology, Singleton has her finger on the pulse of how culture and technology impact the human experience. Rather than merely analyzing fan engagement, Singleton architects it and has both shared her expert insights and advised major organizations and outlets including the NHL, Warner Media, Peabody Awards, and America’s Funniest Home Videos, and has been spotlighted by Vogue, Wired, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and The Athletic.

Her work at the intersection of media, communications, culture, and psychology transforms passive spectators into devoted superfans through her research-backed approach to messaging.

As President of the Board of Directors for Black Girl Hockey Club, she champions access and opportunity in sports culture. In 2024, she was honored as a Salzburg Global Fellow for her leadership in addressing global challenges, and as Professor at UNLV and Howard University, her teaching philosophy empowers youth with leadership development and real-world critical thinking skills.
