Saying Hello.

I am Dr. Evingerlean D. B. Hudson–a very proud native of Charlotte, North Carolina. I am the oldest of three and was reared by a single mother in a low-socioeconomic household. A first-generation college graduate of the FIRST HBCU in the South, I went on to eventually earn a Ph.D. at the age of 28.

After years of service in higher education, I decided to launch my social entrepreneur journey. Now, I’m the Founder and Chief Strategist of Evingerlean Worldwide™ and on a mission to inspire, empower, and uplift first-generation college students and graduates across the globe.

Let's Collaborate. Pass the Mic!
