Angela has a life force that is as big as the sun. She is a lawyer originally from Enugwu-Ukwu, Nigeria and moved to the Bangor with her husband in 2007, for his work. She passed the bar in NY, as they had planned to move there after their time in Bangor. But, they fell in love with the Maine and decided to stay and raise their three school-aged children.
Adaptability is the key to Angela's success. She is bright and jumps right in to take action and make the world a better place however she can. Beyond her federal law practice (Okafor Law), Angela operates Tropical Tastes (an international food market), Gela's Hair Braiding and Crafts and she served on the Maine Multi Cultural Center board until recently. She also heard the need and started an affinity group called Bangor Area White Parents of Black Kids.
Last year (2018) Angela was recognized as a "Trailblazer" by Empower the Immigrant Woman, a prestigious award. She is a confident and competent advocate.
Right now she is running for City Council in Bangor and who knows what is next!
