We recently connected with Angelia Allen and have shared our conversation below.
Angelia , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
The upcoming “Action Summit” in November 2023, which was sparked by the ‘Conversation Summit’ earlier this year which Allen is heavily invested in, aims to address critical issues facing the youth. With a focus on raising awareness and curbing violence in underserved Dallas communities, Angelia firmly believes in the power of leveraging influential platforms for social change. “Awareness is the first step towards a brighter future,” Allen stated. “If we possess the means to amplify the voices of those in need, then it’s our duty to do so.”
Angelia , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I am deeply passionate about empowering communities to share their narratives and discover resources to foster positive change. A personal family tragedy illuminated the pressing need for genuine storytellers in the media landscape. As a devoted wife, mother, daughter, and sister, A proud graduate of Clark Atlanta University with a degree in Radio, TV, and Film, I am committed to making a difference and ensuring that authentic voices are heard. In an era where the digital world is dominating, the news sector is about to witness a refreshing transformation. Angelia Allen, a rapidly emerging name in the news industry, is on the cusp of revolutionizing how news is delivered and perceived on a global scale. With the recent announcement of her collaboration with Global Beat 360, a novel platform launching in January 2024, viewers can anticipate a blend of regional stories from both the U.S. and Africa. This unique endeavor will allow news anchors from diverse backgrounds to spotlight stories pertinent to their regions, fostering a more comprehensive understanding of global events. “It’s an incredible honor to be part of such an exciting venture,” says a grateful Allen. “The world is vast, and its stories are multifaceted.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
Actively seeking mentorship, I firmly believe it’s never too late to learn and grow. Reflecting on the early stages of my career, I recognize the invaluable impact mentors could have had. Too many of us navigate our paths solo, and I’m eager to bridge that gap with guidance and shared wisdom. Mentoring is vital because it fosters personal and professional growth, bridges knowledge gaps, and cultivates future leaders by passing on wisdom, skills, and insights from experienced individuals to those earlier in their journey. It not only accelerates learning but also strengthens networks and communities, and one thing I love to do is network it has taken me places I could’ve never imagine.
