A Message From Angie 

​

I want to communicate through my artwork that everything is possible and no matter what you do or what you look like, you are worthy of love and acceptance. There is taboo around pole dancing and also around being on the heavier side. This is all created by a society which wants to make us insecure, since insecure people consume more products to fill that societal soul hole we all inevitably have. We need to remember that everything is possible. We are all human, we can all learn. Little by little. I acknowledge that since we live in a white supremacist world, life is designed around white people, and that People of Color have to work 3 times as hard for the same thing. It's clear that some people are more privileged than others. However, it is still possible. If you put your mind to something and believe in your worth you will achieve what you want to achieve. Only YOU know your worth. It is up to you to emit that positive energy and make people around you understand that worth and value it and set boundaries to protect your peace.
