Embracing the Journey: My Path to Acceptance with My Biological Mother

Join us on ALTBAYS Table Talk as we sit down with Angel, a courageous wahine Māori who shares her inspiring journey from a tumultuous upbringing in the NZ gang life to overcoming addiction and finding redemption. Adopted at 3 months old, Angel's early life was marked by challenges, including sexual abuse and a sense of rejection that led her down a path of homelessness, prostitution, and severe meth addiction.
In this episode, Angel opens up about facing a three-year jail sentence, witnessing a murder, and accumulating 25 criminal convictions. Despite material wealth, she found herself at a crossroads in 2009. With the support of her whānau, Angel turned to religion, which she credits for saving her life.
Now, as one of the first wahine Māori to share her story on social media, Angel joins us to discuss her remarkable journey and current successful projects. Don't miss this honest and laid-back conversation on ALTBAYS Table Talk, where we aim to bring communities together and thrive. Watch now and be inspired by Angel's resilience and strength.
