I share tips & stories about job hunting, leadership, and marketing yourself | Demand Gen @ Aion | Creator of This Could've Been an Email

According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional operations, and speaker scouting. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub — which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature.

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals &amp; entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want.

The tl;dr:
↳ Bestselling author of The Unapologetic Professional
↳ Keynote speaker, advisor, and marketer
↳ Helping people rethink work without burning it all down
↳ Host of Stop the Scroll, co-creator of Let Her Cook 🌮👀 

As seen in/at: HubSpot, Harvard, Fast Company, Stanford, CNBC, American Marketing Association, and more.

Outside of work: Big fan of tattoos, cookie-scented candles, and the Oxford comma.

People love to say “don't bring politics into work!” As if I could leave my Black womanhood in the parking lot and pick it up after 5 PM. 

I didn't choose to bring politics into my work. Politics showed up in my rates, my resume, my dress code, and my safety. For many of us, our entire careers have been political. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Not by choice, but by design. 

As someone who’s spent years code-switching, trying to blend in, and making myself more palatable, I don’t always get to separate the personal from the professional. Many of us don't get to be “just” entrepreneurs or “just” leaders. We're constantly navigating systems that demand we prove we belong. 

So when someone says “Keep politics out of it,” all I hear is: “Stop making me uncomfortable by reminding me that the system isn’t neutral.”

My work is political because my existence is political. And pretending otherwise isn't professionalism. It's erasure.

Everything corporate tried to "fix" about me is now how I make money.

I spent years trying to change the things my managers flagged in performance reviews. I was too quiet. Then I was too direct. I couldn't pick a lane. I didn't speak up enough about my goals. Or I was (gasp!) too bold. 🫠

Honestly, some of the feedback was helpful. I did need to get better at articulating my impact and advocating for myself. But some of it had nothing to do with me. My personality just didn't match the template, or my working style made someone uncomfortable.

The hardest skill I've had to learn is how to tell the difference between "I need to grow" and "I need to go." Those are two very different problems. And confusing them can cost you years and a lot of joy.

But now:

• Too direct → "refreshingly honest"
• Couldn't pick a lane → multipassionate, with multiple income streams
• Too quiet → I listen, observe, and hear what people aren't saying

These weren't flaws. I just hadn't found the right environment yet.

Founder & Digital Content Manager

I drive engagement and growth through content, relationships, and branding | GTM | Digital marketer | Content creator | Community builder | Storyteller | Personal brand strategist | World traveler and obsessed dog mom 🐶

Hi, I’m Angela!👋🏻 I’ve been a writer for as long as I could hold a pencil. I’m happiest when I’m building relationships, empowering others, or cuddling with my dog, Elle Jae. I’ve explored 33 countries so far and am always planning my next adventure.✈️

My LinkedIn journey began in 2022 when I was looking for a career change. In just 6 months, I grew an organic following of 15,000, and within 3 years I had built a community of 50,000. My personal brand opened countless doors and ultimately gave me the confidence to leave corporate life and launch my own business in the summer of 2025.🥳

I started my career in education, teaching for 8 years and even helping establish an international school in the Netherlands, where I lived for 2 years. From there, I pivoted into tech, spending 3 years in various B2B SaaS marketing roles before taking the leap into entrepreneurship.

Now I help founders, executives, and small business owners turn LinkedIn into a growth engine by building authority, thought leadership, and visibility to scale their businesses.📈

LinkedIn changed my life. Today, I pay it forward by helping business leaders build their own brands rooted in storytelling and relationships through 1:1 coaching, ghostwriting, and team workshops.

Shoot me a message if you’d like to collaborate, or just swap travel stories and dog photos!🐾

Account Marketing Strategist

Areas: Account-Based Marketing (ABM), Content Marketing, Product Marketing, Email Marketing, Lead Generation, Sales Enablement

• Develops and executes strategic account marketing plans to drive client acquisition and revenue.
• Creates personalized and relevant messaging for outbound LinkedIn and email sequences.
• Collaborates with the revenue team to align marketing initiatives with account-based sales strategies.
• Builds and maintains strong relationships with key stakeholders and prospective clients.

I’m 34, single, no kids.
Living in Charlotte with my dog.

And I work from home running my own business.

I’m a personal brand strategist, LinkedIn coach, and executive ghostwriter. I also create content for brand collaborations and train teams on LinkedIn and the power of personal branding.

I'm a solopreneur.🙋🏻‍♀️
I work 1:1 with all my clients.

I personally consult with and write for each one. Nothing gets delegated and no one gets passed off to someone else. When you work with me, you actually work with me.

And I love it. Because I've built something that's completely MINE.

Every client relationship, every piece of content, every strategy session has my fingerprints all over it.

That matters to me.

I have zero interest in scaling for the sake of it or building a team because that's what entrepreneurs are "supposed" to do.

I'm not building an empire. I'm building a life that I actually WANT to live.

To me, that’s what success and “making it” are all about.

2026 is my first full year in business. And I’m all in!! I’m so excited for what’s ahead.

Thank you for being part of my journey!🥹

Last week, I paid someone to do something I probably could’ve done myself.😅

My taxes.

Normally, I just file them myself using TurboTax. Easy.

But 2025 was a little different.

I worked a W2 job for the first 7 months of the year… and then launched my own business at the end of August.

So I figured it was worth getting some professional help this time around. I’d hate to mess something up and then get audited.🫠

Sure, I probably could have still filed them myself. But I’m really glad I didn’t.

Because the CPA didn’t just file my taxes.

We talked about small business finances and best practices. He answered a lot of questions I didn’t even know I should be asking yet.

And that alone made it worth the investment.

Sometimes you’re not paying for someone to do something you can’t do. You’re paying for their experience, perspective, and guidance.

So this week I’m making a couple of big moves:
• Changing my tax status from sole proprietorship to S-Corp (woooo!🥳) • Moving off spreadsheets and onto actual accounting software (guess I’m a real business owner now)

2026 is my first full year in business.🤩

And while it’s a little scary living in the unknown and not knowing exactly how much revenue you’ll make…

It’s also REALLY exciting.

I want to see just how far I can take this.👀

Entrepreneurs: what’s one thing you finally outsourced that you wish you had done sooner?

Helping you build authority + influence on LinkedIn✨ Personal brand strategist + executive ghostwriter | LinkedIn coach, trainer + content creator | Turning expertise into visibility | World traveler & obsessed dog mom🐾

I started getting active on LinkedIn in 2022.
I had no idea what I was doing.😅

What started as “let me just give this a try” turned into career opportunities, brand partnerships, speaking invites, and even entrepreneurship.

4 years later, I’m a LinkedIn coach and personal brand strategist helping founders, entrepreneurs, and execs grow their visibility and authority on LinkedIn.

And I’m running my business on👏my👏own👏terms.👏

If you’ve followed along, supported, commented, shared, referred, or trusted me to help with your brand: THANK YOU.🥹

And if you’re interested in building your personal brand on LinkedIn, shoot me a message!

It’s never too late to start.💫
(I mean it!)

6 months ago, I launched my own business.
On August 25, 2025.🗓️

And I’m a big believer in building in public.
So here goes nothing!👇

4 years ago, I was just getting started on LinkedIn. I had less than 500 connections, an outdated profile, and NO IDEA what I was doing.😅

But I was determined to leave teaching and start a new career. So I did. 

I built my personal brand from scratch and it completely changed my life:
→ Grew to 15K followers organically in 6 months (54K+ in 4 years)
→ Landed 3 full-time job offers within 100 days of quitting teaching
→ Secured freelance work, podcast features, speaking gigs, and paid brand partnerships

Now, I’m running my own business with all inbound clients:
✔️ 7 speaking engagements
✔️ $33,000 in revenue
✔️ 3 live brand deals
✔️ 18 clients

If you would’ve told me a year ago that I’d be an entrepreneur, I would’ve said “nah.”

Looking forward to the next 6 months.
Anything is possible.

Thank you all soooo much for your support!!!🥹
