After losing her mom to domestic violence, Angelica became an orphan in America’s brutal culture shock society. She narrates to Cosmopolitan;

When I was 6 years old, I lost my mother at the hands of my father to domestic violence, and I entered the foster care system.

When I was 12, I met one of my mentors, Zaid Gayle, from Peace for Kids. It’s a program that helps foster youth find creative outlets to let their anger out.
