The REVOLT interview pointed out that Angela's BIZ Experiencesial journey began in 2007 with the Pastry shoe line. Angela founded it with her sister, Vanessa Simmons. Last year, Angela launched Simmons Beauty. The website features items such as advanced complexion brightening bamboo masks, toner, facial oil, and skin tonic.

"I just wanted to do something that I love to do and skincare, especially being at home, we had a lot of time to do whatever we needed, right? Facials, masks, a lot of sitting around. I was like, you know what, I've always loved it and I just felt like it was time to go forward with it…" Angela said in the REVOLT interview.

Angela also said that she learned to readjust in business, value changing things, and learning and growing within BIZ Experiencesship. When she was asked to provide business tips, Angela's advice centered around sticking with an idea, even if a person does not feel supported.

"And to believe in yourself more than anyone else around you. It's good to have support, but it's nice to really believe in yourself, so I would say definitely really believe in yourself," Angela said to REVOLT.
