Overview

Evelyn Williams grew up in the rough streets of Atlanta, where making money meant being tough, smart, and sometimes ruthless. She learned early that life didn’t offer many ways out—except through money or power. She ran the streets with her childhood friend Ty Carter, getting into fights, slinging drugs and making enemies, but nothing hit harder than losing her close friend Jordan. Holding him as he bled out forced her to face the reality of where her life was headed.

Her past relationships were just as intense. Alicia, her high school sweetheart, was a love so deep it burned, but their toxic back-and-forth finally ended—though the scars, both emotional and literal, still linger. Eventually, one year in prison and a growing fear of becoming just another statistic pushed her to change. She got out, found purpose in teaching, and tried to leave the streets behind.

Now, she fights a different battle—staying on the right path, keeping her temper in check, and not letting her past define her. But even with a new life, old habits die hard, and Evelyn knows that she can take herself out the hood but never take the hood out herself. She wants to inspire the new generation of kids, teach them things she was never taught, such as; being comfortable in their own skin and body, loving one another, staying out of trouble and various life skills.
