Residing in Oklahoma City, Angel enjoys quality time with her husband, retired educator Terrell Love, and their three wonderful children—Terrell, Lyric, and Canaan. In her free time, you can find her curled up with a good book or surrounded by loved ones. She’s excited to continue making a difference with the Foundation for Liberating Minds, helping to shape a better and more empowered community.
