Usually denoting qualities deemed unattractive or vulgar by society with the added layer of misogyny, classist, and racial dynamics - anyone seen fraternizing with this woman might be endangering their whole social standing by association and therefore was to be avoided at all costs. As I reflect on the last year, I feel like I’ve entered a time warp. A year ago, I didn't foresee this outcome. A year ago, I was pondering what we’d do to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. We’d recently returned from a family Christmas trip to Belgium. I was applying to school. I didn’t see this coming, although friends of mine say they saw the writing on the wall and it was just a matter of time. I’ve described the last year, as I’ve been going back to college after a 17 year hiatus and the process of separating/divorce as a process of deconstructing, dismantling, unfolding, and YES, unbecoming. I’m actively scrutinizing and rebuilding the foundations of my life. At best, it’s gratifying and I feel ownership over my decisions and my life. At worst, I feel adrift and destabilized and crushing guilt, afraid I've made the worst decision of my life. However, as my lord and savior Cher says, do something that scares you. Olivia Dean’s Baby Steps and Lizzo’s Coconut Oil have been synchronously following me everywhere I go, in super markets and radio, reminding me that I have great capacity for difficult things. I am tenacious & the baddest bitch in any room. Gasp! How unbecoming! https://birdgerhl.com/home daily 1.0 2024-06-12 https://birdgerhl.com/about daily 0.75 2025-06-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c234b8b50c770566ca8da1/5c12f902-c590-44b4-a60d-3dcbfe5f2186/IMG_3557.jpg About My name is Angela. I am a performer, movement & fitness teacher, and professional mystic. My area of interest lies in the intersections of where magic meets the body. My work is deeply influenced by animism and my own practice with yoga. Using various modalities of movement, from fitness formats to performance to what I call “Movement Meditations”, my goal is to transport my clients and audience to a place of possibility, where by connecting to the body and to the bodies around us in a relational way, we can step further towards collective liberation and a sense of inner knowingness. I feel joy when I facilitate spaces where I can observe a student go from unsure to successful, confident, and capable. My desire is to honor the person you are at any given moment AND also, remind you of your infinite potential; greeting and accepting the present moment as well as whatever futures you want to pursue together. Whether it’s in a Zumba class, through the fantasy of performance, or through divination and dreaming, I am here to support you.
