The Making of Angel Williams
Born on March 27, 1986, in Harrisburg, Angel Williams grew up in a tight-knit family of five, surrounded by love and encouragement.

After graduating from Dauphin County Technical School in 2004, she craved bigger opportunities, leading her to relocate to Baltimore, Maryland, where she lives with her fiancé, Eric, her biggest cheerleader.
