Angela Lewis has garnered many roles; from some of the most illustrious off-Broadway play productions, to award-winning drama television series. Angela is most known for playing the dynamic and polarizing 'Aunt Louie' in all six seasons of the FX series, "Snowfall", co-created by the late award-winning director, John Singleton. She recently wrapped playing one of the leads in the world premiere of Kristen Adele Calhoun's poetic and empowering play, BLACK CYPRESS BAYOU, at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.

Born and raised in Detroit, she majored in theater at the University of Michigan and in 2011 landed a role in La Jolla Playhouse's production of MILK LIKE SUGAR, where she met co-actor and husband-to-be J. Mallory McCree. Her first television role was on the Showtime series THE BIG C opposite Laura Linney, which opened the door to a growing on-camera career including guest starring on LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT.

Newly married and moving to Los Angeles in 2014, Angela booked back-to-back guest starring roles on TNT's THE LAST SHIP and CBS's CODE BLACK before landing her series regular role on SNOWFALL. Since becoming a mother to her first child in 2019, Lewis co-founded BlüRemedi Media, a production company that illuminates the vast diversity within diversity. Committed to giving back and the uplifting of Black (and Brown) people, Angela has also co-founded the non-profit Moon Child Collaborative which houses her first initiative, Birth Village, a platform for the annihilation of the Black Maternal Health crisis by raising awareness, educating, advocating, and providing access to resources for Black (and of color) women, families, and workers in the birth space. Most recently, in 2023, Angela became a mother for the second time. Her beautiful at home birth experience has inspired a deeper commitment to Black and other marginalized birthing persons to have an equally joyous birth journey.
