COURAGE SPEAKER · STORYTELLER · MOVEMENT BUILDER

In 2016, a four-minute video helped launch #ThisFlag, a citizens’ movement confronting corruption, injustice and poverty in Zimbabwe.

Evan faced imprisonment, torture and treason charges for his work. These photographs document the courage, the cost and the collective action behind his message.

Today, he brings those lessons to leaders and teams: how to act through fear, unite people around a purpose and sustain momentum when the mission becomes difficult.
