Meet Angelica Nwandu: the founder of The Shade Room, Instagram’s 3rd most engaged profile:
Born in Los Angeles to Nigerian parents, Angelica faced tragedy as a child, losing her mother at the hands of her father through domestic violence at just six years old. She spent most of her childhood in an unstable foster care environment, however she joined Peace4Kids, a program for foster youth to tap into their creative potential, where she developed a love for writing.
To her surprise, Angelica’s script was accepted into Sundance Labs, an incubator programme for film scripts that worked with mentors such as Quentin Tarintino. She took a vacation from work during tax season, a notoriously busy period for accountants. Partway through Sundance Labs, her boss called threatening to fire her if she didn’t return.
