Angalia Bianca - From Gangs, Heroin, Prison to Chicago Violence Interrupter - a podcast by DEN Meditation

Includes a Quote on Kindness from Bianca.

This week we are excited to share Angalia Bianca's story who is the co-author and subject of “In Deep: How I Survived Gangs, Heroin, and Prison to Become a Chicago Violence Interrupter.” Bianca is one of Chicago’s most prominent outreach worker/violence interrupters and has a really fascinating and incredible story. For 36 years she was stuck in a cycle of homelessness and addiction, working as a con artist and career criminal. After serving 12 years in prison, her father’s death served as a wake up call and she decided to start using her personal experiences to help inner city youth and prevent gang violence. She talks with us about her childhood, her first experiences with heroin, her separation from her family and children, and her life in prison. She offers her advice on what you can do if you know someone struggling with addiction and tells us how saving someone’s life can be as simple as helping them find their untapped potential. Today, she has found a way to use her hustling skills and experiences on the street into positive negotiation skills for the greater good of the community. She made the decision to change her life and in doing so has saved so many others. We are honored to have her on the podcast and we know you will feel just as inspired by her story as we are!
