Evelyn Alvarez is a proud single mother, social entrepreneur and a connector. She is the founder of Prom King, an organization that seeks to level the playing field by providing suits, shirts, ties and shoes to boys and young men ages 10- 26 for special events. It is her firm belief that no one should miss out on a great opportunity simply because they have nothing to wear. To date, Prom King has outfitted 25 young men, and has plans to triple that number in 2014.In line with her desire to connect urban families and programs that serve/support urban families, she works as a consultant with Ramapo for Children, where she facilitates trainings for agencies, schools and programs about strategies that can be used to minimize youth misbehavior, enhance programs, and parent engagement.In addition to Prom King, Ms. Alvarez also works as a childbirth and termination doula, where she offers her support to women and families as needed. Every Thursday night, all of the interests converge at 11pm EST on Blogtalk Radio when Evelyn hosts her weekly podcast, The Ripeness Radio. During the show, the topics change weekly but always include a segment of personal growth tools for listeners to remain encouraged during challenging times, and grateful at all times.
