Vanessa Evans

Vanessa Evans is a French/American co-founder and director of The Red Butterfly Foundation alongside her mother. She has spent the majority of her life living in London, U.K, and now resides in NYC. She graduated from the University of Birmingham (U.K.) with a B.A. in Drama and Theatre Arts. Along with her passion for the arts comes her immense passion for being a strong advocate for women’s and girls’ rights. She has spent a fair bit of time in Kenya filming and interviewing women at two organizations a couple of years ago. As well as dedicating herself to women’s rights, Vanessa is equally enthusiastic in supporting The Red Butterfly Foundation’s aims to support the defense of endangered animals, combatting impacts of climate change, and promoting a cultural world through the arts and performing arts.

She is currently focused on her philanthropy, being a board member on multiple boards, and ensuring that her investments are in line with a more sustainable, inclusive, and gender equal future. Vanessa is also currently studying for the LSAT exam in the hopes of getting into law school.
