Angela inherited her mother’s talent, and both women are considered triple threats in the industry: they can act, direct, produce, and more. They recently worked together on the film “Love Jacked,” a collaboration that was a long time in the making.

And although both women are busy with their careers, they also have a beautiful family to take care of.
