Evans received Special Congressional Recognition as director of a national breast and cervical cancer awareness program (1996).  She has facilitated workshops across the country for such organizations as: Newark Day Center, Miss Teen Plus Scholarship, YWCA, TEDCO Lincoln House, Blue Cross & Blue Shield, National Black Women’s Health Project, MELD Program for Girls, and Dance to a Different Drum.

Imani is both an artist and healer, combining her talents to create an amazing atmosphere for transformation and empowerment.

Evans was trained in the cognitive-behavioral approach to counseling. However with own spiritual growth, her style has become far more eclectic and holistic. Over the years, Imani has helped many individuals manifest their dreams beyond perceived limitations.
