Angel S. Brown is a mother, wife, daughter, sister, neighbor, and person of faith. She was given the middle name Sylvia after her paternal grandmother in Jamaica, and Angel is rooted in a lineage of being a child of immigrants– faithful, hard-working, and truth-telling people.

From her childhood in Houston, Texas to playing Division I lacrosse at Duke, Angel tells stories, facilitates, and stewards upon the foundation of dignity, community, and love. 

As a mother, Angel guides the maturation of her three children– and all children in her community– into confident, compassionate, and conscious humans through storytelling and their intentionally curated libraries. As a person of faith, she holds convictions of reciprocity, abundance, and flourishing for all people.

Professionally, she has been an educator, community organizer, and facilitated the stories of others, collected oral histories, and awakened her creativity through photography and film—giving shape and form to the most overlooked stories. Throughout all of her lived experiences, her presence, curiosity, and practice facilitates the  power necessary to steward resources and stories that cultivate a legacy of generational impact. 

Angel has lived in Durham, North Carolina, for the past 15 years and now calls it home—cherishing its history, culture, and people. You can often find her reading a fiction novel in the window seat of her home, tending the herb and vegetable garden with her children, playing dominoes with her father, Latin dancing with her husband, or going on runs in nature.
