ICONIQUE MAGAZINE My name is Angela Foxworth. I guess you’re wondering who that actually is? I am a woman living her destiny. My ultimate desire is to motivate, educate and demonstrate the ability we all have within ourselves to live our dreams and to fulfill our destinies. My love to see people win is truly my life’s goal and I am aspiring to do just that. Let me be clear, I have not always been on this path to reach this goal. As a matter of fact, I thought this dream had passed. My journey started in college where I was destined for glory. I had left high school on top of the world. I attended a predominantly white school, However, I was the first black to ever be voted most popular, second black homecoming queen, first black female to ever be a Key mascot.(most popular social club in high school) and was headed to College to be the next Oprah Winfrey. At least that was the plan. But like anything else in life sometimes our plans can get derailed. I went on to college and after two years got pregnant. Things did not work out with my son’s father and I had to drop out of college. Dream deferred. I jumped right into the workforce as I was now a single, black, mother of one. I went from being a dream seeker to a statistic. I was very happy to be a mom and for three years it was just me and my son. Then I decided to move to Atlanta, Georgia from the town I grew up in which was Jacksonville, Florida. I was told that there were so many opportunities for single, black women in Atlanta that I would never find in Jacksonville. So I decided to give it a try. I moved to Atlanta and shortly there after I met my husband and had my second child, my daughter. Dream diminishing. I became a housewife, mother, PTA parent and a corporate America worker. Dream nonexistent. So 20 years of my life passed by. I can’t even recall what I did during that time. I just know that things were not good. My marriage was in trouble. My kids were in trouble. And I had been laid off from corporate America and could never seem to get back on track financially. So like Abraham in the Bible, I moved my family to an unfamiliar place. The analogy would be from the city to the country. I knew I needed a change. By now, I had reached 40. And even with this move nothing had changed. I had a breakdown. But, with that particular break down I also had a vision of a better life for me. And I decided to believe that vision. So I researched to find what it was I set out to do with my life. Dream re-surfacing. I begin to look for opportunities that would lead me to that dream. Never, in my wildest dreams, would I ever thought it would have gotten me to the place I am today!!! So my message is very simple. Never, ever give up on a dream! Life may throw monkey wrenches and even a few boulders, but you are equipped and have enough strength to get back up. As long as you are still alive and able to breathe on this earth you have the ability to do exactly what it is you want to do. Dream realized. Today I am blessed to have the opportunity to be on the cover of this phenomena publication and I want to share with you what it is I am currently doing: Cover Photo: Von Donald Hair Stylist/MUA: Shannon Green/House of Kurves
