A Q & A and reception will follow the screening.

Angel is the author of “Am I Doing This Right?” and the co-director of the award-winning documentary, “Hiding in the Walls.” She is driven by creativity and social equality.
“Returning to Wesleyan reminds me of the ongoing support I receive from my alma mater,” she said. “I am thankful for this opportunity to share my documentary, ‘Hiding in the Walls,’ with the students, staff, and the Buckhannon community. It is humbling to know that the college I graduated from 10 years ago is sharing my work.
“While at Wesleyan, I built relationships with my peers and professors. This visit back to campus reminds me that networking and relationship-building are essential and beneficial. I’m grateful to Dr. Jess Scott for inviting me to campus. I love to visit Wesleyan because it brings back memories and encourages me to keep going because people need to hear my story.”
