Kereen Evans’s story is proof that your past doesn’t define your future—it prepares you for it.
At eleven years old, she arrived in the United States from Jamaica under difficult and unconventional circumstances on what was supposed to be a simple trip to Disney World. She could have let that beginning break her. Instead, she let it build her. Navigating a new country, a new language, and a new system, Kereen pushed through challenges in the U.S. educational system with a quiet determination that would become her trademark. She became a lawyer. She became a Manhattan prosecutor handling serious felony cases. And in those courtrooms, she discovered something that would change everything: her true superpower wasn’t winning cases—it was connecting with people.

Your gift is a clue to your purpose
In the courtroom, Kereen learned to read a room, to find the human story beneath the facts, to see people—really see them. That same gift for deep connection followed her into her work with the New York City Department of Education, where she now serves in an executive advisory role, guiding principals and superintendents through complex legal issues affecting 1.1 million students and their communities. Whether she was prosecuting in Manhattan or advising school leaders in crisis, the pattern was always the same: people trusted her because she saw them. But Kereen knew her calling was bigger than any one courtroom or school system.

Why The Kereen Connection Exists
She launched The Kereen Connection because she kept meeting people—brilliant, capable, accomplished people—who felt lost. They’d built careers, checked boxes, climbed ladders. But something was missing. They could feel it. And Kereen recognized that feeling because she’d felt it too.
The Kereen Connection exists to help you find what’s been calling you all along—and to give you permission, language, and real guidance to answer that call.
