Meet Fiyah Angel, Detroit organizer with Rent for Moms and healing activist
Fiyah Angel says they know what it’s like to struggle to pay the bills at this time of year. They recalled “the stress of trying to keep a house and home together, the pain, tension, shame of holidays approaching, and maybe not having anything for your kids.”
