After several years, she left journalism to study Organizational Management and Leadership in graduate schools, where she furthered her formal education. Hairston Adar is a proud graduate of Salem College, one of the oldest institutions of higher learning and a prominent women’s college in the USA, where she earned degrees in Spanish and Communications with specializations in Journalism and Telecommunications; Pfeiffer University, from where she holds a Master of Science in Organizational Management, and she is ABD for her Ph.D. in Management.

From inbound marketing strategy to content development, social media marketing to public relations, and change management to customer service training, Yolanda Hairston Adar is a fountain of knowledge, experience, and inventive ideas to propel business to the stratosphere. Always open to a diverse clientele, Hairston Adar is especially excited to help women, especially those who are reentering the workforce or are starting their own “side hustles;” BIPOC entrepreneurs and employees who are seeking change in their professions and are often under-served, under-promoted, and under-valued in the greater work landscape, and marginalized communities of employees with disabilities and LGBTQ+ employees who also face discrimination in the hiring and promotion processes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the “Great Resignation” and the resulting multitudes of people under- or unemployed, Hairston Adar decided to revamp her own business and is launching Evimero Consulting to provide her full range of services digitally and virtually for anyone around the globe who needs her as a consultant or coach. Evimero means, “thrive,” in Greek, and helping budding professionals, entrepreneurs, and new managers thrive in order to reach their fullest potential for success in business is exactly what she does best. Hairston Adar is a co-founder of Beliefs & Consequences Media and produces the “Beliefs & Consequences podcast” with her husband, Daniel Adar. She also enjoys writing, cultural events, vegan cooking, and travel.
