Dr. Angeline Dean has been called a “life saver” and a “breath of fresh air” for her ability to bring different perspectives to challenging situations. She is an entrepreneur and thought leader who is not afraid to take risks and possesses a keen sense of recognizing and responding to the call for change. Her book Not Just a Slave was an answer to her fourteen-year-old cousin’s question as well as so many other children of melanin– “Am I just a slave?” This book was submitted for the Coretta Scott King Award in 2013. Yet, little did Dr. Dean comprehend this book and an incident while teaching would be the tools to transcend her thinking and navigate her journey as a disruptor and catalyst for change.
