Her work, "Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love & Liberation," is igniting communities to have conversations necessary to become more awake and aware of what hinders liberation of self and society.   Rev.angel applies wisdom teachings, embodied practice, and is a leading voice for transformative social change.  To learn more about Rev.angel's work and sign up for newsletters and more, you can visit their website here.
