Evin R.

InspiRing
Brooklyn, New York

“I used to think that, as a kid, you couldn’t have a business. But NFTE taught me you could. It opened my eyes.”

At an early age, Evin was inspired to want to give something back to his community. But he didn’t know how until the ninth grade, when he took a one-week NFTE course through Sponsors for Educational Opportunity. Evin started InspiRing, which sells hand-made rings symbolic of female empowerment. His business mission is to instill positive values in young women. Evin will attend the University of Michigan in the fall. Eventually, he would like to work for a major investment firm.
