Dr. Denae Ball

Hi, I’m Dr. Denae Ball—a multidisciplinary artist, entrepreneur, and public speaker. Over the years I have fused performance with leadership, acting, directing, choreography, and community work, building a diverse portfolio that spans film, television, theater, print, and stage. I also lead several nonprofit initiatives, guiding teams and volunteers to empower communities through health, education, and empowerment.

This journey has taught me resilience and compassion, and I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of artists and changemakers. As founder and CEO of Ms. Universe International and Crosses & Crowns, I create platforms that elevate voices, foster healing, and drive positive impact, while continuing to create compelling media and live performances.
