A self-described banker by day and social entrepreneur by night, Evelyn is the founder and Executive Director of ⁠International Child Advancement ⁠(ICA), a nonprofit with a mission to empower orphans and underprivileged children to become self-sufficient through education, vocational training, and mentoring. 

Listen to Evelyn share her journey as a second-generation immigrant to the United States and her time growing up in both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and France, and how that inspired her to found ICA.

And, tune in to hear what ICA does to build collaborations between Buffalo and the DRC through education, the Art Gala, and more - and how you can get involved.
