A native of Memphis, TN, Angel was born into a family of entrepreneurial innovators. Her late great great-grandfather, Robert R. Booker, was one of the founders of the Church of God in Christ. Her late maternal grandmother, Rev. Linnie Juanita Booker, was the first woman police officer in Atlanta, GA and Lexington, MS. Her mother, Beverly Anderson, founded the Home-Base Business Chamber of Commerce. Her father, Jerome Anderson, started an automotive business before she was born. Angel is the youngest of her 4 siblings who are also all entrepreneurs - her oldest brother is a music producer for underground artists in Memphis; her second oldest brother is a tattoo artist and owns his own shop in Atlanta; her third oldest brother is owns a HVAC and carpentry business; and her older sister makes homemade air fresheners and essential oils.
Angel Ray’s vivid imagination and eye for detail was noticed as young as kindergarten. Angel recalls writing short stories as a child about two best friends - a bunny named Skipper and a fox named Hopper. Her creativity and passion for storytelling grew over the years and has created many opportunities in the field of writing. Angel wrote and self-published her first book of short stories entitled Some Parents Just Don’t Understand, Book 1: Four Real Stories About Real Teens and Real Issues at age 16 after being the listening ear and connecting with her peers. The book contained stories based on the experiences of her peers that have been trivialized by their parents, guardians and/or caretakers.
At age 18, Angel Ray wrote and published Some Parents Just Don’t Understand, Book 2 which contains eight more stories and promotes healthy communication between parents and their teenagers as they grow and learn more about themselves.
Today, Angel takes pride in blogging about her experiences with anxiety and depression after the birth of her son in 2016. Angel's stories have proven to resonate with not only her peers, but older audiences as she takes a transparent dive into her personal issues dealing with mental health.
Angel Ray's writing style can be described as bold and enthusiastic. Not only is she unafraid to address controversial and pressing issues, but she does it with style.
During the summer of 2012, she was granted the opportunity to travel and tour the heart of Europe for three weeks where she visited France, Italy, Rome and Switzerland and stayed with a host family in Austria for one week. Angel journaled her international experiences, challenges and opportunities and will soon publish a piece on the similarities and difference between the US and foreign countries.
Angel Ray produced three benefit fashion shows in Memphis, TN from 2012 to 2014 entitled Lights, Camera, STRUT! Each year, a portion of the proceeds were donated to a non-profit youth organization in Memphis.
Most recently, Angel Ray produced her 4th show, the Glow Getter Fashion & Awards Show, in 2022 in Holly Springs, MS to honor the 2-year anniversary of Ray's Glow Sugar and to thank her brand ambassadors for their assistance in reaching the 2-year milestone. The models wore clothing designed by local, black business owners.
