"I shall have to solve my own problems, I always get the feeling
that when I solve them for myself I shall have solved them for a thousand
other women. For that very reason I must come to grips with myself."
—Etty Hillesum
Allyn Evans is founder of QueenPower.com,
an on-line community for women, and author of
Grab the Queen Power: Live Your Best Life! A Competent Toastmaster
and Regional/District Tall Tale Competition Winner, Evans entertains
and informs
audiences while challenging individuals to 'live their best lives'.
Evans’ work centers on her love of writing and her desire to
help other women meet the challenges of successful living. As a young
woman, Evans found she always got in the way of her own progress—creating
obstacles and allowing her deeply ingrained fears to stop her at every
turn. Compelled to “come to grips” with herself, the native
Mississippian dug down into her cultural heritage to figure out what
went wrong and why. This self-study expanded to include the many women
Evans interviewed for her work in the uplifting Grab
the Queen Power. The culmination of her community-building endeavor
was the creation of QueenPower.com, where many women have found the
strength, both in numbers and within themselves, to succeed.
As Evans’ daughter nears pre-adolescence, her work on female
empowerment zeroes in on creating empowered women by cultivating emboldened
spirits in young girls and adolescents.
Evans’ days are filled writing, interviewing, and speaking—that
is, when she’s not playing tennis! Evans now resides in Oklahoma
with her husband and nine-year-old daughter.
Degrees: MBA and BA in Psychology
