Author Angelica Harris Speaks About Her Work On Abuse And Bullying On The Next GingerNewYork TV Show

NEW YORK - Oct. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Human Rights activist Angelica Harris is a successful author, entrepreneur, advocate, and speaker. She is using her personal story to build a community of conquerors that will together fight domestic violence and help others–and one another–find healing.

Angelica was born to a diverse European family in New York City. Her love for writing was ignited in high school, when she used the written word to escape the domestic violence and sexual abuse she was hiding from family and friends. She pursued creative arts at Hunter College, where she majored in history and theatre.

With a lifelong passion for medieval history, especially Arthurian lore, Angelica is the author of three fantasy novels: The Quest for Excalibur, Excalibur and the Holy Grail, and Excalibur Reclaims Her King. From these books was born the Excalibur Reading Program, a non-profit program that brings the importance of reading, writing, and the arts to all children, as well as to organizations dedicated to children with special needs. The Excalibur Reading Program is the new pilot program in designated public schools in Queens, New York, and Angelica continues to work with community leaders to better her program and community.

Writing Living With Rage has opened a new chapter in Angelica’s life. Angelica partnered  with organizations such as Amnesty International and the Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma (IVAT) and the Center for the Women of New York (CWNY) and Rape Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), to raise awareness of domestic violence and support healing through story, and the National Association of Professional Women (NAFW). Angelica is also a member of the Queens Council for the Arts, and a Lifetime Member of Weight Watchers.

Angelica Harris is part of District Attorney Richard A. Brown’s Second Chance Program directed by Assistant District Attorney Gail Giordano, located in Queens Borough Hall. The program is geared to helping ‘At Risk Youths’. Second Chance partners with community leaders in Queens, New York aiding them with educational services and new pathways to stay out of the system. Eventually helping them find employment, attain their High School diplomas and or their GED. Many have gone on to college, joined the military, and have come back to mentor others in Second Chance.  Angelica works closely with these young citizens teaching them creative writing at the Queens Public Library and mentoring those selected in her own Excalibur Reading Program-Unicorn Project-Raven’s Hope. http://www.angelicaharris.com/

As a member of her Kiwanis Club of Glendale, she works with Kiwanis International for the betterment of the lives of children globally. In September, 2012, Assemblyman Mike Miller awarded Angelica the Everyday Heroes’ Award for her work in her community and in domestic violence she also received Citations from State Senator Joseph Addabbo and Council Member Elizabeth Crowley for her programs. On December 14^th 2013, Angelica, was awarded the City Council Citation Community Service Award by the Royal People Group from Councilmember Ruben Wills, and the Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Gregory W. Meeks, Member of Congress. She has recently been awarded the VIP Woman of the Year Circle Award from the National Association of Professional Women.

She has been interviewed in depth by the media-Channel 34, 54-Channel 67-Channel 1; Rocco Vertuccio of NY 1 made a personal visit to her center for his Queens Person of the Week.

Angelica will accept speaking engagements, guest blogging, and other ventures that will allow her to work with victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Together, she believes, we can all become Heroes in our own life.
