De Angela is endlessly grateful for the honor and privilege to be on Prince’s stage for #PrinceCelebration2023 #Celebration2023 on Saturday, June 10, 2023 in the same sacred space where the greatest concert film of ALL TIME (Sign O’ The Times live) and even Graffiti Bridge were filmed, where Prince rehearsed tirelessly for a gazillion hours and performed countless performances upon performances! It’s a memory that she will carry with her forever, forever ever… Forever, ever, ever…

Thank you to Londell McMillan and Charles Spicer for the invitation to speak on the Fam panel, all the staff/crew of Paisley Park particularly Mark Webster for all of his hard work and extraordinary efforts to make the Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial Highway and other historic purple results a reality, her fellow panelists Dr. Funkenberry Rodney L Fitzgerald Casey Rain Kim Camilia, and Reg Chapman of WCCO | CBS Minnesota for the wonderful moderation, everybody who cheered her on when she got on Prince’s stage, and every single person who continued to give her words of encouragement before and after.

Prince left all of us Paisley Park 2 commune and celebrate his life & legacy! It is up to ALL of us to keep his name on the lips of the children so it can remain open for generations to come! It’s gonna take a village!
