Angelica Maria can do most anything. She is versatile at leading workshops for DEI and Orientation, performing her own poetry and music, and being the leader that inspires participants to find their own story to share as a tool for healing. We are excited she will present her workshop “Say My Name” at NCORE on June 4th!
