miah evans: west middle school director

MIAH@urbanpromisecharlotte.org

Rooted Leader. Joy Bringer.

Miah is a Charlotte native and UrbanPromise alumna who serves as Middle School Coordinator at the West Site. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. A former StreetLeader herself, Miah's journey with UrbanPromise began in 2016 when a mentor saw potential in her and called her into leadership — and she's been connected ever since. She brings that same intentionality to her work with middle schoolers, a group she describes as some of the most underestimated and most capable students around.

Miah grew up near the West Side of Charlotte and graduated from Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology before going on to NC A&T. Outside of UrbanPromise, she enjoys long walks through uptown or near the water, and a good brunch with great friends.
