Angelica Lara

Advocate of Growth

Embodying the spirit of resilience and determination, Angelica hails from Colombia and has been a beacon of inspiration since her bold move to Florida at the age of 8, alongside her mother and brother, in pursuit of the American dream. This transition, marked by numerous challenges and obstacles, forged her into a person of formidable strength and character.

As a single mother, she faced a pivotal moment at 18, embarking on a complex medical journey that played a significant role in her personal growth and self-realization. Her experiences have made her a passionate advocate for maintaining a positive mindset, embracing personal narratives, continual self-improvement, and raising awareness for alopecia.

Her philosophy is grounded in the belief that while we cannot choose the challenges life presents to us, we have the power to choose our responses and paths forward. She is dedicated to showing her son and others the boundless opportunities that arise from approaching life with intentionality and a hopeful vision for the future.

Her story, shared on The Tragedy Academy Podcast, is a testament to the power of resilience and hope, offering encouragement and inspiration to all who hear it.
