Committed to giving back and uplifting of black (and brown) people, Angela has also co-founded the non-profit Moon Child Collaborative, which houses its first initiative, Angela’s own labour of love - Birth Village.
In Addition to Acting,
Since becoming a mother to her first child in 2019, Angela has been inspired to use her platform for the annihilation of the black maternal health crisis by raising awareness, educating, advocating, and providing access to resources for black (and of color) women, families, and workers in the birth space.
Angela’s desire is to live fully in her power by alchemizing her passion for exploring humanity through the arts, standing in the fullness of the light and love that is her core, carving out a legacy for herself as an actress, writer, producer (and whatever is to come), and glowing in the fullness of her womanhood, through which her family grows and thrives, her daughter can experience a living breathing example of what it really is to be a woman, and the world becomes a better place.
