I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and give a little insight into why I am here. I feel now more than ever an overwhelming urge to show what I am made of.  I realized a long time ago that there was something missing in my life; and I am just now, at 26 years old learning how to express that by allowing my inhibitions to liberate me. 

My name is Evan Noel Cheurfa (formerly Luke). I am happily married to an amazing man who loves me how every woman should be loved.

I was born on November 16, 1990 in Sacramento, California to 2 incredibly loving parents. I grew up with 4 older brothers and I couldn't have dreamt of a better childhood. I moved to Orange County in the summer of 2008 to attend The University of California, Irvine majoring in Film and Media studies.

After graduating college in June of 2012, I had no idea what I wanted for myself. I learned a lot in my 4 years of undergrad but still lacked direction. I never felt like I was sure of myself. I rarely followed through with my plans and more often than not, I found myself looking at the great things others were doing and modeled my life from that.

I felt so unoriginal.

So, what do you do when you have no clue where to go next?? Go to Graduate school...

I still don't really know what my purpose was there, but I met some amazing people and soaked up a ton of industry history and valuable information. While in my 2 year Master's program at California State University, Los Angeles I worked at a law firm just to have money coming in while I figured my life out. This is where I became comfortable. I started getting serious with my now husband about a year into my program and while I always stayed on top of my education - it began to mean less to me.

I had little to no drive to do anything that would expand my career; a career that I wasn't even sure I wanted. My husband's career in the film industry as a stunt performer/choreographer required frequent long term domestic & international traveling. If he was traveling, I was too. That was what we both wanted, and agreed upon. In 2015 I quit my job, leaving for New York City with him as he worked on a film for 4 months. It was the most liberating feeling to break free of the life template that was provided for me, to finally do something that was purely for me.

Fast forward to present time; I'm married, living in Atlanta for the duration of a film my husband is a part of, exploring a new city with an open mind and open heart. I finally have everything I have ever wanted; a solid marriage, a good man, and a plan for a family in the near future.

Everything was falling into place for me, but I couldn't help but feel deprived of a purpose. What frustrated me most was not knowing how to find it.

It infuriated me.

How can I be a grown woman, married and ready to start the rest of my life, but I don't know what my purpose is? It made me feel like I lacked substance..

One of my best friends told me recently, "You've lived in Auto Pilot your whole life..living how you were told, allowing your fears to hold you back from being your ultimate self; Worrying about how the world will receive you rather than just living your truth, and acting upon it. You're too grown to not be the pilot in your own life."

I decided to take the reigns on my life and move forward, my way. I am finally learning what I like, devoting more time to developing myself and exploring my creativity in ways I never would have 5 years ago. I recognize now that I have allowed my potential to remain dormant for far too long. 

I am so excited for the opportunity to share my soul with you.
