is a poet, multimedia artist,    and social   justice advocate whose    work interrogates the intersections   of urban trauma, violence, and    mass incarceration.   After spending over a    decade using   spoken word to    unearth  personal and systemic narratives of harm,   resilience, and accountability, in   2023, Evelyn founded    Explanations From Exile    (EFE), a multimedia arts    justice     initiative committed to    amplifying marginalized   voices and challenging    systemic inequities.

His practice blends art, activism, and critical reflection, bridging personal experience with collective struggle. Through storytelling and visual media Evelyn aims to produce projects which evoke dialogue and inspire transformation. EFE’s projects are meditative and confrontational, shifting between visceral intensity and introspection –inviting audiences to reckon with uncomfortable truths while imagining futures rooted in justice and restoration. By centering the lived experiences of impacted communities, Evelyn redefines how we engage with empathy, accountability, and meaningful change.​​​
