When Angela became a mom, she took the natural plunge into motherhood devotion and almost instantly she started to feel a connection between her and all animal mothers, especially cows. Once Angela learned the horrors of the dairy industry, she could not look away. She knew she had to speak up about the pain cows endure when their babies are ripped away at birth so we—humans—can have milk in our coffee. Since then, she has evolved from a fierce entrepreneur to a “vegan for the animals” mother of two.  In her journey to raise her children to be the healthiest and most compassionate boys, Angela has gone from opening an organic vegan cafe to writing Little Animals, Mean World book series. She hopes her books spark kids curiosity for the truth behind food, fashion and all other businesses that use animals as commodities.  

Angela was born in Bogota, Colombia and raised in Miami, Florida. She’s now daring the dry dessert heat and the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, Nevada raising her two boys with her husband along with her biggest cheerleader—her mother. When she’s not writing or being a mom, Angela is crushing a poker challenge, going for a long hike at Red Rock Canyon, or most likely searching for perfectly ripe avocados, as all right thinking vegans would.
