Tangela Joseph

Biographical Sketch

Tangela a native of South Bend, Indiana but has spent most of her life in California where her family migrated for her father to begin his ministry.

She attended Mt. View Adventist Academy and later attended San Francisco City College where she pursued her degree in healthcare administration.

At that time, she decided that "healthcare" was a profession that would allow her to develop this gift and for 25 years, she provided "care" to patients in an environment that encouraged them to be concerned about the future of their health.

In 2012 after an introduction to Primerica by a company representative, God showed her that it was time to make a shift in the type of "care" he desired her to provide. While improving her own family's quality of life at the same time, she began helping families to invest in their financial futures!

Primerica has allowed her to be her own boss... to work as many or as little hours as she chooses, to make as much money as she wants, but best of all, to "help" families become debt free and financially independent by saving and preparing for their futures during their retirement years.

"When I sit down with families, it is greatly rewarding", Tangela says. "I feel like I've been given a second chance to walk in God's plan for my life, to own my own business, to help change lives by educating families regarding being better stewards of what God has given them. I teach them to build on their current assets so that they multiply and allow them to be economically self-sufficient. The joy this gives me is tremendous! I thank God for the opportunity to be blessed to be a blessing".

Tangela is the proud mother of a 16-year-old son, a 26-year-old daughter, a son-in-law and a beautiful 11-month-old granddaughter.

Special Guest Actor De'Aundre Bonds

Actor De'Aundre Bonds Gets Career on Track After 10 Years in Prison 'The Wood' star details what role God played in his road to redemption.

Actor De'Aundre Bonds, on the long road to redemption

By the mid 90’s, De’Aundre Bonds’ acting career was headed in a promising direction. He had memorable roles in cult classics like "Get on the Bus", "Sunset Park", "Tale s From the Hood" and "The Wood" on his resume. Bonds ’success was not by accident, it was all part of his master plan. From a young age, the California native decide d t o avoid the path his parents took by not allowing alcohol, drugs and the violence in his South Central neighborhood  to keep him from re aching his dreams of making it in Hollywood. However, right when he was about to make one of his biggest career moves—which would have been to star in Denzel Washington s’ Antwone Fisher—an unfortunate chain of events led Bonds to prison when he was charged and convicted of manslaughter in 2001.

“I just want to be able to show people not to always look at things as necessarily being bad but as something to show how strong you are how powerful you are”

Eleven years ago DE’Aundre Bonds struck fortune and tragedy at the same time by gaining the most important role of his career and becoming convicted of manslaughter. Bonds’zeal over learning from Denzel Washington that he acquired a co-starring role in “Antwone Fisher”clashed with the disposition of an aunt’s boyfriend and the confrontation between the men proved fatal. Bonds had already escaped a series of ghetto tribulations to get an auspicious career start appearing in movies like “The Wood”and“Get On The Bus.”The prison time seemed to return his life to a script written around the Republican party’s sociological assumptions about Black people. Bonds’significant opportunities in the film industry could not snuff out the specter of the hood but it did not envelope him. He lived liked many locked-up artists and used his creative undertakings to guard his sanity.His catalog of emotional references realized another layer of organic depth and his other ambitions gained urgency.
