Eve Richards is an unstoppable force of inspiration, an actress, model, podcast host, blogger, travel and fashion influencer, and marketing professional whose journey transcends boundaries and touches hearts worldwide. With a spirit forged in resilience and a heart rooted in community, Eve is not merely carving out a space in the entertainment industry—she is crafting a legacy that inspires and uplifts all who encounter her story.
Born in London to parents who dedicated their lives to justice, Eve’s childhood was steeped in the values of integrity, service, and excellence. Her father, a lawyer, and mother, a judge, instilled in her a deep sense of responsibility to use her voice and platform to uplift others. These values are the compass guiding Eve on her extraordinary journey.
Eve’s love for the performing arts was ignited in her high school years, where she discovered the transformative power of storytelling. Although she initially pursued a successful corporate career with renowned companies like American Express and Macy’s Advertising, her true calling as an actress was always present. Embracing her destiny with open arms, Eve made the courageous leap into the world of acting, where she has since built a remarkable portfolio of over 25 independent film roles. Through her portrayals of strong, influential women, Eve’s work consistently champions themes of empowerment and resilience, leaving a lasting impact on audiences.
The loss of her father in the summer of 2023 was a profound turning point in Eve’s life. To honor his legacy and continue their shared mission of uplifting others, she launched “The Discovery Pod: Acting, Fashion, Health With Eve” in 2024. This podcast, produced by the talented Roger Neal, her PR Manager has quickly become a global beacon of inspiration, exploring the dreams of aspiring actors, the brilliance of accomplished celebrities, the ever-evolving world of fashion, and the delicate art of balancing passion with life’s challenges. Each episode is a celebration of courage, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.
Eve’s influence extends far beyond the screen and the microphone. A passionate traveler and blogger, she shares her journeys and insights on fashion and beauty with a worldwide audience, inspiring people to embrace their unique paths. Her upcoming film “Echoes of Dreams,” loosely based on her life, and her collaborations with industry giants like Steven Clay Walker and Gabriel Dorobantu, further underscore her commitment to telling meaningful, transformative stories that resonate on a universal level.
Take us back to when did you discover your love for the arts?
Growing up with a mother who was a judge and a father who was a lawyer, my world was filled with the expectations of following in their footsteps. But even as a child, I felt a pull towards something different—something that stirred my soul. The arts became my escape, a way to explore a world beyond the courtroom and legal briefs. I was captivated by the lights, the camera, the action—the magic of storytelling. It was in those moments of dreaming about the possibilities of becoming an artist that I found my true calling. The arts offered me a sense of freedom and creativity that I knew I had to pursue. It was more than just a dream; it was a passion that would shape my future and allow me to connect with others across the globe through the power of imagination and expression.
How would you describe yourself?
I consider myself a Renaissance Woman, driven by a desire to make the most of the time I have. Life is short, and I want to fill mine with meaningful projects that bring joy and fulfillment. My parents, though no longer with me, continue to inspire everything I do, and I strive to make them proud with every step I take. Coming from a large family, I’m mindful of the example I set and hope to inspire the younger generations to follow their passions and dreams. I’ve embraced a variety of roles—actress, model, podcast host, blogger, travel and fashion influencer, and marketing professional—each offering a unique way to express my creativity and connect with others. These diverse pursuits allow me to share my journey with the world, always with the hope of making a positive impact and leaving a legacy of inspiration and love.
What does women empowerment mean to you?
Women’s empowerment, to me, is about equipping women with the resources, confidence, and opportunities they need to lead fulfilling lives and achieve economic independence. It’s about creating a world where every woman has the chance to succeed, regardless of her background or circumstances. When I lived in San Francisco, I had the privilege of volunteering as a stylist for ‘Dress for Success,’ an organization whose mission is to provide women with the support and tools they need to thrive in both life and work. Being part of this cause was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It allowed me to directly impact the lives of women who were working hard to build a better future for themselves. Volunteering with ‘Dress for Success’ not only made me a better person but also deepened my commitment to advocating for women’s empowerment. It showed me the power of community and the profound difference we can make when we uplift one another.
The loss of your father in 2023 had a profound impact on your life. You felt a deep calling. Tell us about your podcast.
When I lost my father in 2023, it was a moment that shook me to my core. But in the midst of that pain, I felt a deep calling to use my voice to make a difference. This led me to launch ‘The Discovery Pod With Eve’, a platform born out of my desire to inspire and empower others. Through this podcast, I aim to share stories of resilience, strength, and hope that resonate with both women and men around the globe. It’s a space where we explore the challenges and triumphs of life, encouraging listeners to discover their own inner power and to never give up on their dreams. My father’s memory fuels my passion for this work, and it is my hope that ‘The Discovery Pod With Eve’ becomes a beacon of light and a source of empowerment for all who tune in.
Who do you admire the most?
I draw inspiration from remarkable women who have shaped my life and continue to inspire me. My dear mother was a shining example of success balanced with humility; despite her achievements, she always prioritized my brother and me. Malala Yousafzai’s story of resilience amazes me—her courage to stand up for education in the face of unimaginable adversity is truly inspiring. I’m also captivated by Meryl Streep’s journey as an actress, watching how she masterfully delves into a wide range of characters. One guest on my podcast, Dr. Jatali Bellanton, has left a profound impact on me. Her story is nothing short of extraordinary—at just 14, she ventured into investing, later earning a PhD, and becoming a philanthropist who excels in everything she does. These women, along with the incredible Oprah Winfrey and her global influence, serve as beacons of strength, perseverance, and empowerment. They remind me daily of the power and potential within every woman, and I’m honored to share their stories and draw inspiration from their journeys.
How is your film, “Echo of Dreams” a message of strength, hope, and empowerment?
“Echoes of Dreams”, a film loosely based on my life, is a story of hope, strength, and empowerment that I believe will resonate with audiences around the world. This film captures the journey of overcoming life’s challenges and finding the courage to pursue one’s true passions, even in the face of adversity. It’s a celebration of resilience—the kind of inner strength that allows us to rise above our circumstances and transform our pain into purpose. Through “Echoes of Dreams”, I hope to inspire others to believe in their own power to create change, to hold on to hope when the road seems uncertain, and to embrace the journey of self-discovery with an open heart. This film is not just my story—it’s a universal message of empowerment that I hope will touch lives everywhere.
What’s next for you?
Looking ahead, I am excited about the many opportunities that lie before me. I hope to begin filming my film “Echoes of Dreams” by the end of this year or early next year, bringing a deeply personal story of hope and strength to life. Season Two of “The Discovery Pod With Eve” is set to start taping in October 2024, where I will continue to share inspiring stories with our global audience. Additionally, I’m thrilled to be filming an upcoming episode of “Surviving the Cartel” and exploring several other exciting projects through auditions. This fall, I will also spend some time in Europe, embracing new experiences and inspirations. Each of these endeavors represents a step forward in my journey, and I am eager to see where this path of creativity and discovery will lead.
