Today we’d like to introduce you to Regina Romain.
Hi Regina, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I was in the fifth grade when my English teacher asked where I got the idea for my story and how did I come up with such interesting characters. She smiled when I said, “I don’t know, I just wrote it.” I have always created whatever I wanted to achieve. I love comedy so I created the first comedy entertainment magazine. The very first screenplay I ever wrote was optioned. My varied background as an artist, professional scriptwriter, content creator, documentary producer and journalist enables me to provide concise coverage for a wide variety of genres.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I’m a 3x Emmy award-winning network television producer and the great-great granddaughter to the victim of the oldest cold case in American history. Growing up in a family of many secrets, my path was never easy, but my drive was always strong. I have always achieved everything I have always set out to do, because of my past.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Because of my past and my experience as a television producer, I have created a team of real-life investigators to help solve murders and help families get the closure that they need because most cold cases are already solved. The same way I exposed and solved my own family’s cold case. I am now the founder of 501(C)(3) nonprofit FPI Justice for Victims Families. I’ve learned while working with families of unsolved murders that these cases have a lasting impact on families, especially children. After a violent death, kids experience a wide range of emotions. Spring of this year, my charity is hosting a Justice Walk. The intention of the Justice Walk is to offer the community a chance to walk alongside victims’ families who are walking one of the most difficult journeys of their lives. The proceeds of the Justice Walk will raise money to support victims’ children by providing backpacks equipped with carefully chosen grief resources because grief support isn’t one-size-fits-all. Despite the fact that we all grieve, does not mean that our access to mourning, is shared.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I see my nonprofit going worldwide. Within one year of existence, FPI Justice for Victims Families is working to solve 140 homicides with the completion of an almost 200-year-old cold case. Some go back more than 50 years. And although based in Texas, investigation assistance spans across all 50 states and Canada.
