“Angela has a vibrant and soothing energy that captivates her audience. I was curious at first how the session would work virtually. Angela listened to my requests and curated a workshop that addressed my organization’s needs. Angela takes controversial and complex topics and explains them in a safe space where participants are able to learn and grow.”
