Mrs. Angela Ott… This woman is the exact image of an Empowered Woman! Although she has her moments of weakness, she is surrounded in the embrace of God. As all of us, Angela has had challenges in her life. Her health has not always been that great. The courage she showed while facing Breast Cancer was backed by her Faith and her Family.

Way back in the mid 90’s, Carrie Matirne and I were tasked with starting a Youth Program for the Louisiana National Guard. We did what we could as volunteers back then. However, we lived at complete opposite ends of the state. Angela was hired in 2005. Since then, she has taken the Child and Youth Program to heights I could have never imagined. Our summer Youth camp fills to capacity each year in less than 5 days. Due to her networking, the Christmas Angel Program is a blessing to more than 50 families each year. The impact of this program is a true testimony to her leadership. Her commanding presence coupled with her passion for our Guard children, makes her a force to be reconned with.

Angela also has a softer side. She is a true blessing to anyone that knows her. Her friendship carries the same passion as her job. If she knows of an issue, she is there to help. I have been on the receiving end of her hospitality a few times. The Ott family works as a team in all things and makes you feel welcome and comfortable.

Because of the formidable powerhouse she is, this ultra sheer gloss reminded me of her quiet feminine side under all that confidence. Angela has taught me that you can be as strong as a man in your position in life, but still be a lady at the same time. I love my Angela! She is the true meaning of Southern Charm,,, when she is not telling you what to do. You can order your subtle strength shade HERE.
