We Ain’t New at This
Reverend Angela Denise Davis, Speaker
Libby Ware- Facilitator, Charli Vogt- Music
Angela Denice Davis will speak at First E’s Celebration of Life about the continuing struggle for human freedom and thriving under oppressive forces and how each passing generation has the option to stand against injustice.
Angela Denise Davis, M.Div., M.S., CRC is a skilled workshop facilitator, public speaker, and preacher. Her preaching engagements have included a variety of settings from small congregations to large denominational gatherings. She speaks to educational institutions, communities of faith, conferences, and organizations on topics ranging from art as a means of spiritual reflection, spiritual activism, social justice, LGBT and religion, Black lesbian health and well-being, and disability awareness and advocacy. In addition, she will wax poetically on all things related to the ukulele if given the chance.
She is an effective trainer and conversation partner with a keen sense of how intersectionality affects conversational space. This capacity supported her creation and facilitation of the “Them, Us, & We” workshop, which presents opportunities for individuals and congregations to assess their position as voyeur, celebrant, or coalition builder.
She is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University where she earned a B.A. in Art. She also holds a master of divinity from Vanderbilt University Divinity School, and a master of science in rehabilitation counseling from Georgia State University.
She lives in East Point, Georgia, with her partner, Mary Anne Adams, and their canine dog, Kasi.
