Since her release from prison in 2005, the celebrated owner of Stanton Publishing House, and former Reality TV star of the BET Network docuseries "From the Bottom Up" has been mentored by her Godmother Evangelist Alveda King and has joined her in being a prolific voice in the Pro-Life Movement. As a community activist, accomplished writer, speaker, founder, and philanthropist uses her life story, a testimony of redemption, to make a profound positive impact in today's social and political climate. Her agenda of prison reform and family unification brings hope to all Americans.
She is a criminal justice reform advocate who helped pass the First Step Act signed into law by President Donald J. Trump on December 18, 2019. On February 18, 2020, Angela was given a full unconditional Pardon from President Donald J. Trump after her 2004 conviction on federal conspiracy charges for her role in a car theft ring.

- Economic Empowerment
It is with passion and humility that I am seeking to serve Georgia's 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, and it is with gratitude for the service of Congressman John Lewis that I hope to carry on the torch for justice. I have lived much of my life in this very district, whether on the streets, behind bars, or in office buildings in Buckhead. I have tasted the greatness that Atlanta has to offer, and I have also experienced the hardships of injustice and suffering that exist for many across our city.
My story is one of merciful redemption: I was a sexually-abused child, a teen mom, and a prisoner...a single parent of five who frequented homeless shelters and had no hope...who became a non-profit founder, company creator, program developer for at-risk youth, and an advocate for those in need. It would be a privilege to use my testimony, my life experiences, and my resources to improve the lives of Atlantans and Americans alike.
I have a heart to see the restoration of our prisoners, the rehabilitation of our homeless, the protection of our children, and the empowerment of the next generation of Georgians. I believe that the healing and equipping of our vulnerable populations will lead to the flourishing of our city, and the defence of our God-given freedoms will enable us to prosper.
