As a two-time published author, record label founder, and recipient of the F. Jones Award, Evrah has made a significant impact both locally and nationally. Her work fuses rhythmic storytelling, hip-hop, and raw, conscious poetry, drawing inspiration from luminaries such as Tupac Shakur, Stacey-Ann Chin, and Kae Tempest.
With several million streams on her spoken word films, highlighting issues from rape culture, mental health stigma and gender inequality, to films delving into working-class identity; Evrah has become a prominent voice in tackling serious societal issues. Her reach extends across major platforms like the BBC, The Times, ITV, and BBC Sport, where she has featured on radio and TV, including presenting on BBC Radio 5 Live. Extending her impact, Evrah was a BBC Bitesize panel member during the BBC’s centenary UK tour in 2022, inspiring young minds to explore careers in storytelling.

A captivating performer, Evrah has headlined events across the UK, from Apples and Snakes, Durham, the Homeless World Cup in Cardiff, to Wrexham AFC's Cae Ras stadium.
Her poetry film, Will You Be Coming Back?, raises awareness about domestic violence in same-sex relationships, while her contribution to Welsh Women’s Aid’s “Live Fear Free” campaign underscores her commitment to combating gender-based violence.
In September 2024, Evrah wrote and performed the opening piece for New Sinfonia’s opera, 'Gresford: Up from Underground', a moving tribute to the 90th anniversary of the Gresford mining disaster. Her performance, accompanied by the New Sinfonia orchestra, took place before a live audience at the historic Wrexham Parish Church, blending powerful spoken word with orchestral arrangements to honor the memory of those affected by one of Wales’ most tragic mining events.
Evrah’s powerful film, 'Invisible Me', is currently touring galleries across Wales as part of Wanda and David Garner’s acclaimed exhibition, 'Pantomime/Behind The Mask'. Showcasing her signature raw and evocative style, the film delves into themes of identity and unseen struggles associated with chronic illness.
