EVELYN VALDÉS | “SALÍ DE COLOMBIA PARA CONSTRUIR UNA NUEVA IDENTIDAD”

How does a woman from Cali go from a humble background to conquering the screens of Telemundo, Caracol, and RCN in the United States? This week on Made in Cali, we sat down with Evelyn Valdés, a Colombian-American actress who opened her heart to us like never before. Evelyn told us how, from a very young age, she associated money with freedom, which led her to work from childhood and make one of the bravest decisions of her life: to go alone to pursue her artistic dreams in the United States. But behind the spotlights, the auditions, and the big productions, there were moments of profound loneliness, heartbreak, deceptive offers, and a depression that made her question whether continuing to live was really an option. However, her discipline, her faith in God, and her desire to succeed proved stronger than any crisis. She trained at prestigious acting academies in New York and Miami, was crowned Miss Florida US Nation, and participated in productions such as Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso, Azúcar, Los Medallistas, and La Mujer de Mi Vida. Today, Evelyn not only shines as an actress, but also dedicates part of her life to helping others heal emotionally, demonstrating that even the darkest moments can become opportunities for purpose. A vulnerable, human, and deeply inspiring conversation that will remind you that it's never too late to start over.
