ABOUT ME

My name is Angela Nicole Parker and I am a Los Angeles-based writer, trainer and consultant.

I have spent my career working towards empowering others, first as a newspaper reporter, then as the Director of Trainings and Programs at a local non-profit. One of my specialties is designing youth educational programs, which include running Phenom Girls, a non-profit that helps young girls find the phenomenal woman within, and GeneratioNext, a newsmagazine that gives inner city youth a voice and teaches them about communication and journalism.

I also facilitate workshops and conversations around self-empowerment, healthy relationships and domestic violence.

I am the author of several fiction books and "Under the Hill," a collection of satirical columns on being a single woman of a certain age.
