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.
One ordinary voice.
An extraordinary movement.
THE COURAGE TO MOVE FORWARD
When the stakes rise, inspiration needs to become action. Evan brings the lessons of building a national movement into the decisions leaders and teams face every day.
Through compelling storytelling and practical ideas, he helps audiences reconnect with their purpose, lead through uncertainty and keep moving when the mission becomes difficult.

The courage to speak up and stay the course
What does it take to defend freedom before it is lost, and keep going when change feels out of reach? Drawing on his experience mobilizing Zimbabwe’s citizens and enduring imprisonment for challenging dictatorship, Evan Mawarire explores how democracy erodes when people stay silent, wait for others, or assume they are safe. With candor and hope, he challenges audiences to find their voice, turn conviction into peaceful action, and remain engaged in the long, unfinished work of defending freedom.
