We had the good fortune of connecting with Queen Angela and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Queen, career-wise, where do you want to be in the end?
My ultimate professional goal is to be a catalyst for positive change in the world. By the end of my career, I envision myself being an example of a purposeful and fulfilling life, inspiring others to do the same. I strive to establish and run the Gateway Center to Excellence, a facility dedicated to supporting the entire community. Through this center, I aim to teach individuals to unlearn and relearn, love, lead, and serve, empowering the next generation of leaders. Let us all strive to make a difference and leave a lasting impact on the world.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As the author of over 75 books and on a journey to reach 100 by my 50th birthday in 2025, I strive to embody the E3 Experience: educate, empower, and encourage. What sets me apart is my willingness to share my expertise and the understanding that success is a process. If they are willing to go through that process and understand It hasn’t been easy, but you can overcome challenges just as I did by working diligently and not making excuses. Every experience, good or bad, has shaped me into the person I am today. My brand and story are rooted in hard work and the fulfillment of purpose. It has giving me an opportunity to express through podcasting, Aspiring Authors Magazine, Blogging and advocating for the Wrongfully & overly Incarcerated through the Free Texas Campaign.
