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.

While my first love and background is higher education, pursuing my purpose led me to social entrepreneurship. Now, I’m the Founder and Chief Strategist of Evingerlean Worldwide and we are on a mission to inspire, empower, and uplift first-generation college students and graduates across the globe through personal transformation and entrepreneurial development.
