In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, where the concept of truth is choked by a stranglehold of superficiality, Evelisa bursts forth like a comet in the night — brilliant, untamed, and fiercely unapologetic.
She is not just another artist in a sea of pretty pictures; she is a Sicilian force of nature, a woman forged in the crucible of life’s most unforgiving trials. Evelisa stands defiant, not merely surviving the storm but becoming the storm itself, unearthing raw, untamed truths buried beneath life’s darkest layers.
Evelisa’s journey is not for the faint of heart. Guided by an unrelenting passion for creating systems that elevate human potential, she has navigated the labyrinthine corridors of power—from government policy and high-stakes negotiations to the mercurial worlds of tech startups and international diplomacy.
After graduating from Harvard with a Master’s in Education, she carved her path as a strategist in environments where tension is the currency and complexity is the air you breathe. Yet, in the midst of these seemingly disparate worlds, art emerged as a secret weapon — a bridge between the jagged edges of human experience, a balm for the wounds of division, a language that speaks when words fail.
In her professional life, Evelisa took the reins as the Equity and Inclusion lead for Realdream, a technology company where she didn’t just align projects with industry standards, she redefined them. She also took command of the role of National Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the Scouting Movement’s Canada Region, impacting over 31 million Scouts across 216 countries and territories.
Through it all, she gave voice to the voiceless, crafting spaces where inclusion wasn’t just a buzzword but a lived experience. Her influence echoed further through her podcast Stories of Life and Love, where she unraveled the wisdom of leaders, artists, and revolutionaries, exposing the undercurrents that shape our world.
Uniquely, Evelisa’s mastery of equity and inclusion wasn’t confined to the sterile environments of boardrooms and diplomatic channels — it flowed seamlessly into her art, a visceral extension of her life’s mission.
At the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles, she spearheaded an audacious project that fused the emerging world of NFT Web3 with the ancient power of the arts, a bold testament to her belief that creativity is not just transformative but transcendent. She built peace programs with schools and families, advancing alternative dispute-resolution processes centered around art—a move that demonstrated, with brutal clarity, the transformative power of creativity in even the most contentious of spaces.
For this creator, art is not just a passion; it is a lifeline, a sacred thread that has woven her life into something extraordinary. It is the language of her soul, the voice that spoke to her father in his darkest hours, the melody that soothed her mother when words could not. From the tender age when she first put brush to canvas, Evelisa understood the profound healing power of visibility—the act of being truly seen and understood. “Art is humanity’s saving grace,” she states with the kind of fierce determination that can only come from a life lived boldly.
Today, this powerhouse artist channels her formidable energy into Empowered Feminine Factor, a movement that is more than a cause — it is a battle cry, a relentless fight against injustice, and a devoted celebration of women’s voices. In this new chapter, she continues her lifelong mission to bring equity and inclusion to the forefront, using her art and influence to smash barriers and ignite change.
Evelisa is not just an artist, a warrior, or a guide; she is a living, breathing challenge to the world to be better, braver, and more truthful. Her art is not merely a reflection of her journey; it is an invitation to embark on your own, to find the courage to face the unknown, and to emerge stronger, wiser, and more deeply connected to the core of your being.
