Oprah’s Big Give: Meet the Cast
February 24, 2008 by Lynn
Oprah Winfrey has created her own reality show and it revolves around giving to others. I love the idea and can’t wait to see how the show works. Oprah’s Big Give premieres on ABC on Sunday, March 2 (9:00-10:02 p.m., ET)
Meet the Cast:
Angelo Adams
Angelo Adams was the leader of more than 100 soldiers in Iraq. A former army captain, a West Point graduate and a three-sport-letter-winner in high school — Angelo is a fierce competitor. Today, he is in his second year at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. “I’m willing to sacrifice whatever it takes in order to be the biggest giver on ‘Oprah’s Big Give.’ ”
The Philadelphia native was commissioned as a Signal Corps Officer after graduating from West Point. In the army, Angelo worked as a mentor to other soldiers, helping them use computers and setting them up for online classes. Since returning home from Iraq, he has worked as a minority recruiter for West Point as well as the marketing director for Bell Curves, an SAT and ACT prep course. In June 2005, he was deployed to Korea, where he served for one year. Angelo and his wife have two children — 5-year-old Jasmine and 2-year-old Isaiah.
“I wanted to be on ‘Oprah’s Big Give’ to help infuse my giving spirit into the communities, so that when the cameras are gone, the giving continues,” he says.
