| Name | Evans, Deborah Emma Jean |
| Record code | ML6 |
| Birthplace | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
| My life | An inclination of blessings! Due to my upbringing, my educational and professional endeavors, I have experienced many opportunities to be the recipient of and the channel for blessings! Most of my life I have experienced a very cross-cultural and inter-generational social network. I approach my spiritual life with a vibrant and intense sense of ecumenism. |
| My role models | I have two, Charles and Laura Evans - my parents. |
| Greatest inspiration | I'm always inspired by people who have overcome overwhelming obstacles to achieve their dream, particularly men and women of color. |
| My vision for Milwaukee | My vision of Milwaukee is that it becomes at ease with its diversity of cultures. I still sense tremendous long-standing barriers among different ethnic/economic/educational groups. We can achieve, enjoy and celebrate a sense of oneness without sacrificing our cultural identities. For this to happen we must foster effective communication and eradicate fear. Each person is capable of doing this. Due to my life experiences, I attempt to facilitate and nurture a sense of trust wherever I am, in order that positive interaction may take place, especially among different groups of people. |
