Morenike Joela Evans, '93
BA, Communications
Morenike Evans is a Director, Producer and Writer who creates compelling, dynamic and entertaining programming for television, the web and film.
Her creative vision, strong story sense, keen eye for detail, and mastery of all levels of production from script to screen makes her a dynamic creator who excels under any production environment.
In launching MoJo Media Creations she intends to continue to break barriers in Hollywood by Directing, Writing and Producing compelling content featuring strong women characters and diverse storylines for both scripted and unscripted projects.
She currently has 5 scripted projects in various stages of development and also aims to establish herself as a top tier woman director for scripted television and film.
Her journey into directing narrative began out of film school, when her first short "The Water Story" was selected to air on Starz 3 and was also a finalist in Tribeca All Access. After years of a career working mainly in entertainment television, she began refocusing on her passion for scripted programming, and created opportunities to direct in the digital space by taking the helm of 3 highly acclaimed webseries--The Brown Betties Guide, SEXLESS and God ComplX.
Brown Betties Guide, which she also produced and co-wrote, earned her 7 nominations at the 2011 LA Webfest-including Best Director, Best Writing and Best Comedy Series.
SEXLESS, which she directed for the hugely popular Black & Sexy TV Network was acquired by Viacom to air on BET/Centric in 2016 and featured in Variety Magazine.
God ComplX, which was Executive Produced by Claire Brown (Being Mary Jane, The Game) is a 10-episode series funded by Google. The series earned Morenike Joela an Outstanding Director nomination at LA Webfest 2017 and won the Jury Award at the 2017 Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase.

| FROM THE PEN OF THE PRESIDENT! |
Last month, President Simmons and I had quite an in-depth conversation. She assures me the National Alumni Association and the soon to be established Office of Alumni Affairs can co-exist. The two entities will work closely together to review the effectiveness of the office. There is also the possibility of an advisory council of sorts which would include NAA representation; alumni input at the highest level. In the President's own words,
"These alumni would be strong, out-spoken, competent persons."
"An Office of Alumni Affairs along with an Office of University Events will be established. This will clarify areas of responsibility that should coordinate to ensure that we are reaching and involving alumni in a meaningful ongoing way. An office of Alumni Affairs, led by an alumnus, that continuously engages alumni will not only assist us in repairing some of the negative perceptions that some alumni have about the university, it will also assist us in our fundraising efforts. The search for a leader of this effort will be announced in February."
Ruth J. Simmons, President PVAMU
At our last NAA Board of Director's Meeting held in February chapter and class presidents discussed a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Talents) Assessment of the the NAA to develop an action plan for growth. Chapters across the country submitted input. This will continue to be a topic of discussion and strategy for the NAA. We must be intentional in our efforts to ensure there will always be a place for the National Alumni Association, an INDEPENDENT voice for alumni.
