Congratulations to our Founder Cheryl Ann Wadlington for being named as one of Philadelphia Tribune's 2024 Most Influential African American leaders.

Congratulations to all the awardees!

From the Tribune:

"They hail from schools and colleges, from corporations, small business and unions, from government at all levels, from law firms and non-profits, from storied art institutions and up-and-coming startups, from the news media and the entertainment world. But they all had one thing in common: They are the people who make things happen in Philadelphia, the people whose influence drives the city." Read more

The national fashion and beauty journalist founded and became chief executive officer in 2004 of Philadelphia-based The Evoluer House. Under Wadlington’s leadership, the organization has delivered award-winning empowerment programs over the past 20 years to more than 3,000 teen girls of color experiencing unique social and emotional challenges and barriers to success. The Evoluer House works to equip the most underserved and hardest- to-reach girls in Philadelphia with essential tools to become college-bound and career-ready, thus breaking the cycle of inter-generational poverty. As a testament to its success, 100 percent of those graduates attend four-year colleges or other institutes of higher learning.
