Angela is a writer, producer, encourager and cultural contributor. She loves creating products that energize, educate and entertain people. She grew up on the beautiful island of St. Croix, which is part of the US Virgin Islands.

The Fireburn is an important, yet not widely known, part of African Diaspora, Danish, Caribbean, and US history. Part of Angela's mission is to change that. Angela was selected as a Woman of Distinction by the United Nations Association of Broward County, Florida, and her non profit was honored as one that consistently contributes to ensuring that human rights violations are exposed and ended. Motivational speaker Les Brown was born Leslie Calvin Brown on February 17, 1945, in Miami, Florida. After giving birth to Brown and his twin brother, Wes, on the floor of an abandoned building, Brown's biological mother gave her sons up for adoption when they were six weeks old to Mrs. Mamie Brown. When he was in fifth grade, Brown was forced back a grade by the school's principal after being disruptive in class. Brown's demotion subsequently led him to being placed in special education classes and labeled as mentally retarded. As an adolescent, Brown attended Booker T. Washington High School where he was influenced by a speech and drama instructor who encouraged him to pursue a career in radio broadcasting. Brown ranks amongst the nation's leading authorities in understanding and stimulating human potential; he is a featured guest on many radio broadcasting stations and is often hired by professional corporations to teach and inspire new levels of achievement.
