Can I Say Hello Real Quick?

Hey, hey! I’m Dr. Eve®! The oldest of three raised by a single mother in a low-socioeconomic household, I went on to become a first-generation college graduate of the FIRST HBCU in the South. By the time I was 28, I’d earned a Ph.D.

A higher educator turned founder and chief strategist of Evingerlean Worldwide, I’m on a mission to inspire, empower, and uplift first-generation scholars and graduates across the globe.

Be it making history with us at The First-Gen Shop™, passing the mic for a signature talk, listening to The First-Gen Lounge™, or enrolling at First-Generation University™… I invite you to be a part of this first-gen movement!

More ways to listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, GooglePlay. As I was preparing for today’s show, even thinking about the topic that I ended up landing on (talking about success), I found myself reminding myself of my word for the year: PEACE. In the five years (this month) that I’ve been podcasting, this is the shortest session I’ve ever […]
