She is becoming a sought after speaker for young women audiences because she speaks honestly, straight and open to the issues that plague them such as teen pregnancy, the importance of education and making life impacting choices.

Kim Floyd of Real Mommies Read, a part of the Spartanburg Public Library says:

Angelia's ability to help our teen moms see themselves as she did was a special gift. She instilled within them a desire to make better choices, take control of their bodies and their lives. They realized their pasts didn't have to determine their futures. Angelia let them know their worth.

Different...

Lately I have heard this remark from so many people, “You are so different…I have never met anyone quite like you.”
In my earlier years the remark irritated me…usually it was from the lips of a person of a different race…and I took it to mean they were trying to insult other black folks at my expense…
Or…
It was from a man…
And I was convinced he was trying to ‘game’…
For some years I tried extremely hard to have some semblance of sameness…
Never seemed to quite work…
I don’t follow trends for clothing…
Who my friends are…
Cars…
What I eat…
What I read…
And so it seems for what I write…
One of the things that has touched me most when people talk about my writing…
Is when they say…
“How Bold…”
“Refreshing…”
“Never read it quite like that before…”
“Damn that’s different…”
Now I love hearing it…embrace it…savor it…love it…
I am not trying to be different for difference sake…
I am just incapable of dancing to anyone’s tune but my own…
I beat my own drum…dancing til I sweat…
I write my own stories…without a single regret…
I probably would do it differently…if I could…
I simply can’t…
Love and Blessings…
Angelia
