Liberated Lives.

Hola, I’m Dr. Ang. I create pathways to justice, beauty, and liberation through speaking, writing, art, and gathering people together.

My QUEER framework guides this work and invites us to question what we’ve inherited and reimagine a better world.

Stories for

still becoming.

My books grapple with gender, sexuality, spirituality, and the arts. As a queer feminist author, I explore the stories and possibilities that live at these intersections. From memoir to scholarship, creative nonfiction to novels, justice and liberation are woven into every word.

I'm the award-winning author of eleven books, including Liberating the Lectionary, which is out April 2027.
