We had the good fortune of connecting with Angel Yvonne and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Angel, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have” – Maya Angelou. I have always been creative. Some of my earliest and most fondest memories consisted of creating art out almost anything.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an actress and currently working on a new series I am co-writing as well as starring in. It’s based out of Los Angeles so it will definitely have a lot of memorable  moments from the city that the audience will recognize. I’m definitely excited about this project; it’s the first series I’ve ever written so it’s definitely going to be my baby. Hope to start production next year and cast a lot of locals from the city who are aspiring actors and actresses. I am from Kansas City and the talent out there is undeniable. I’d definitely open it up to aspiring actors from my hometown as well.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for breakfast. It’s a classic and I like to support black own businesses. We would probably go to the spa and get massages and our nails done, followed by cocktails downtown at The Rooftop at the Standard. The panoramic views are the best and the deck and bar is a great place to chill. It’s a great vibe! The next day we definitely would go to my favorite museum, which is the Academy Museum of Motion pictures. I was there on Oscar night and had the best time. My best friend is an actress too so I know she would appreciate it as much as I did. To end the trip we would have to head over to Venice Beach! No question.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them, their love and support has carried me a long ways…any success I have I owe to them and their prayers.
