In their words

The energy stays with people

“Angela brought such wonderful energy to our Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations at Duke University Hospital. She generously volunteered her time at the Duke Farmers Market, helping transform the event into an engaging, festive experience. Her enthusiasm drew people in, encouraged participation, and added an exciting sense of joy and connection to the day”

“We were able to work with Angela as she choreographed a dance for us to perform at the Reality Ministries Talent Show, held each year at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) in front of an audience of about 1,500 people. She was patient, thoughtful, adaptable, and genuinely invested in getting to know our participants so that the choreography was accessible and fun for everyone. Watching our group grow in confidence as they learned, practiced, and ultimately performed together was such a gift. We are so grateful for the joy, creativity, and sense of community Angela brought to our group!”
Nicole ZelayaProgram Team Associate, Reality Ministries
