About Carrie

Carrie's body is weird and she's making that work for her. She lives in DC by way of Los Angeles and has a conflicted relationship with social media, but you can follow her on Twitter and Instagram anyway.

Three photos of Angel Powell, a Black woman in her mid-twenties, side by side. The first shows her looking into the camera with black rimmed glasses, short hair, and yellow/orange animated butterflies around her head from a Snapchat filter. The second photo, to the right of the first, is of Angel as a child, sitting in a blue and white striped lawn chair with knee-high white braces on her legs. The final photo is of Angel in her wheelchair on a subway train; the shot is of her reflection off the subway window. She is wearing a black jacket and purple beanie.
