Angela "Angy" Abreu is a Dominican-American mom, writer and
community organizer. Angy firmly believes that “if it does not
exist then you must create it.” As a poet and community organizer,
in 2014 she co-founded Wordat4F,Where Community Activism
Meets the Arts”,a grassroots traveling open mic series that
cultivated a love of spoken word, poetry and literature in the
Uptown (Washington Heights, Inwood & Bronx) communities of
New York City. Wordat4F began as an open mic series requested
and hosted in secret locations and later made a home in Apt78, a
local community hub. Wordat4F participated in Sankofa
“Slamnesty: Activism through storytelling” and hosted the first
ever Poetry Slam Competition in Washington Heights.
In 2015, feeling dismissed as a Dominican American writer in many literary spaces, she decided to create
the Dominican Writers Association a 501 c3 non-profit organization solely dedicated to
highlighting content that not only promotes the works of Dominican Writers but also provides
them with the tools and resources necessary for their development. Angy is the Creative Director
of Dominican Writers and along with the Board manages and creates content that serves a large
population of writers:
