Multilingual Globalist Jad-Évangelo Aims to Amplify Internationalism in Atlanta
Jad-Évangelo Nasser is a global inclusion and cross-cultural strategist in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) space. Having lived most of his life in Lebanon and working for Metropolitan markets such as Dubai and Riyadh, he lived in New York City for 6 ½ years before deciding to move to Atlanta, GA. While residing in Atlanta, Jad-Évangelo decided to launch J-É Cultural Consulting, a consultancy business with a plan to bring his global knowledge and multicultural learning specialties into a market with deep historical roots of civil rights, social justice, and migration of global communities to an environment of hospitality and welcomeness.
With over one million immigrants living in Georgia from all over the world, Jad-Évangelo is seizing the opportunity to bridge cross-cultural connections and business relationships between intersectional and entrepreneurial immigrants of historical global communities with the excellence of existing African-American businesses, communities, and narratives.
“What makes Atlanta special is its historical roots of African-American American resilience, its concept of hospitality, and eagerness to learn of external foreigner stories. That is an opportunity right there to make it a multicultural AND cross-cultural powerhouse”, said Jad-
Évangelo. An example of this testimony is his published award-winning film on Amazon Prime Video: ONCE UPON A COLOR, which narrates the unified stories of eight artists of color of global and intersectional backgrounds on how they navigate modern-day America.
Jad-Évangelo, a proud Lebanese who speaks five languages with partial Palestinian roots and discovering his cultural intersection with Haiti, has been immersing himself with multiple communities and engaging in equity work by establishing panels and discussions such as “Arabness x Your Communities” with ALIF Institute,” Multicultural Storytelling of the Global World” with Fulton County Public Arts Program and conversing with some HBCUs such as Morris Brown College on global learning.
With publications and appearances on The Diversity Movement, The Black Wall Street Times, Arab America, Ad Age, Fox News 61, and Prime Video, Jad-Évangelo currently consults with his clients on their global diversity efforts, teaches at four universities and is partnering with The National Center of Civil Rights on their Diversity e team.
