Meet Angel Dior (Actress & Entrepreneur)

Meet Angel Dior (Actress & Entrepreneur)
Posted By: Lenell Johnson on September 20, 2024


1. Where is your origin, and how was your childhood growing up?

I grew up In the suburbs of Detroit. I come from a very nice middle class family. I always loved Writing, Dancing, and dressing up in the mirror as most kids do. I was an over achiever in school. Always focused. Never wanted for much of anything at all.

2. As a child what did you initially foresee in your future professionally?

I always knew I'd be in entertainment. Either in the front or behind.  I loved it all. I use to want to be a nurse at some point but music, modeling and film ran in my family.

3. As someone behind the scenes, what would you describe your experience?

The experiences I've had behind the scenes have been amazing. I've met some phenomenal people from writers, Producers etc. Being a personal assistant at times isn't that bad. Pretty fun.

4. When did you discover your passion for film, and television? 

I discovered my passion for television around 8 years old, thanks to BET, VH1, and MTV Networks.

5. What projects have you been part of that our viewers would know? 

I've done a Michigan commercial for a college. Been on the hit tv show empire back in 2017 a few times.



The Chicago TV show the ChI helping in background and a few independent films. I have some great acting coaches (Wendy Mckenzie) from New Jersey dreambox studios. The beautiful Ambre Anderson from the popular TV show (50 cents show "Power") & Shiek Muhammad bey (Shiek studios). They motivate me.

6. Do you have any inspirations or people that motivate you to continue thriving?

Mostly the great Actresses/actors that came before me and I motivate and push myself really.

7. What was it like growing up in Detroit, MI?

It was peaceful growing up in Michigan. We always went swimming, bowling or the 1.00$ movie showing back in the day every other weekend.

8. What obstacles have you overcome to get to where you are in your career today?

Some obstacles I've overcome has been were really just reprogramming my mind to enjoy my career a not do what others want me too a keeping my confidence. 

9. What is next for you, and your journey?

Next for me on my journey is to continue to help on many music/film projects as I can and build my new black owned business.
