Angee Melange is what happens when purpose and resilience collide. Imagine Oprah’s wisdom, Lauryn Hill’s soul, a tech-savvy mind, and a lived experience that’s as real as it gets — all grounded in fierce love for her daughter and an unapologetic connection to her roots. Angee is a powerhouse multi-creative, social justice activist, healthcare leader, and change-maker, helping others rise from the ashes and walk in their purpose.

Raised in Pittsburgh, now based in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, she has transformed personal adversity into a platform for impact across various spaces. She holds a Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration, a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, and an Associate’s in Computer Information Systems. Professionally, she serves as a Contact Center Manager within a leading healthcare system.

In 2021, Angee founded The Pretty Purposeful Podcast, inspired by her own experiences of being frequently called "pretty" while having her intelligence and multitude of talents overlooked. She sought to redefine the narrative by creating a safe space that proves beauty and purpose are not mutually exclusive.

After a brief hiatus, she relaunched the show in 2024 with co-host Candace Mabry, bringing fresh energy and deeper discussions to the platform. Their dynamic approach blends thought-provoking dialogue, cultural commentary, and humorous skits to amplify meaningful conversations on resilience, identity, and living a life of purpose. 

Beyond the podcast, Angee has a history of youth advocacy, previously launching VIP Movement in Pittsburgh, where she fused motivational speaking and live performances to empower at-risk youth in group homes and detention centers. She is always seeking to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations to create meaningful change.

Whether through the podcast, music, advocacy, or business, her work is rooted in purpose, passion, and a relentless commitment to making a meaningful difference in the world.

Candace Mabry is the voice of a generation that’s unfiltered, fearless, and fully tapped into the culture. With her signature wit, deep insight, and a whole lot of heart, she brings balance to Pretty Purposeful Podcast — offering real talk that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening. Candace represents the now, the next, and the necessary.

A proud Georgia native, Candace joined the podcast in early 2024, and has played a key role in shaping thought-provoking, humorous, and impactful discussions and productions. Her blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and talent for engaging content creation, she helps foster a space where self-discovery, empowerment, and purpose-driven conversations flourish.

With a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Business Administration with a specialization in Human Resource Management from the University of West Georgia, Candace also serves as a Regional Recruiter for a leading global automaker, where she connects talent with opportunity. Her background in human behavior, leadership, and career development seamlessly translates into the podcast, where she explores topics that range from self-love and faith to relationships, culture, and the realities of modern life.
