A Conversation with Angelique l’Amour: Lifting Others Up through Words and Actions

Angeligue combines her gift into a combination of grace, humor, positivity, gratitude, and practicality. She lends her unique ability and helps others bring their stories to life, having created a Creative Writing program where she nurtures writers as an Author Coach.
