I’ve known Angela for several years and this is not her first photoshoot with me, but it was the first one where it was just her. She came a little apprehensive because she had gained some weight during the pandemic, but clearly that meant nothing when the camera turned on.

All about Self-Love
When do you feel the most beautiful?
When I’m all glammed up and wearing a pretty outfit like the jumpsuit I wore for the photo shoot with you.
Do you have a self-care routine? If so, what is it?
I do not have a self-care routine per se, but I love to puzzles and adult coloring. They are very relaxing and grounding for me.
What does being Fiercely Feminine mean to you?
Being Fiercely Feminine means being bold, beautiful and unapologetically ME! I’m at an age where I can no longer be concerned about what others think. I’m a firm believer in that what others think of me is none of my business.
What is a goal you have been working on?
I’ve been working on my third book called Shelf Life. It’s the story of my battle back to ME after being informed that the local police department destroyed all of my rape evidence including my untested rape kit without my consent.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
I would tell my younger self to not give up. I know your life is very difficult right now, but do not give up. Keep your head up and keep fighting, it will get better and you finally win!
Finish the statement – I am a woman who…
cares deeply, loves hard and is grateful to God for this life He has blessed me with.
