My name is Porshay Stegall.<\/strong> \u00a0I was given the name\u00a0\u201cAngel\u201d by those who love me.<\/p>\n I use the name \u201cAngel\u201d\u00a0as my stage name in the modeling business. \u00a0I was once googled, followed and harassed by a \u201cso-called\u201d fan.\u00a0 It was really scary. I would hate to see how this person treats someone they don\u2019t<\/em> like. \u00a0This person took\u00a0\u201cfollow me on twitter\u201d to the next level and was following me on the streets in Indy.<\/p>\n Zumba!!! I have danced all my life. \u00a0It all started with being woke up to show the latest moves\u00a0for my mom and dad\u2019s friends at our house parties during the holidays. We all had to bust a move or two for our elders growing up, so I know I am not the only one.\u00a0 But dancing stuck with me.<\/p>\n Growing up, I did \u201cpraise dance\u201d in church.\u00a0 I also performed with the drill team and the dance team in school. \u00a0I was even on the Geno Shelton Show way back when. \u00a0It was here in Indy and kids could come dance on camera like they were on soul train.<\/p>\n As an adult, I have worked mostly with children that come from low income families. \u00a0So I began to teach a dance fitness class through IPS schools.\u00a0 During the summer programs, I went on to work for other privately owned dance services for kids teaching hip hop, dance ballet and fitness. Three years ago, I went to Zumba at Lifetime Fitness and fell in love with dance all over again.<\/p>\n I had been looking for a way to branch out my own teaching and became a\u00a0certified Zumba Instructor. \u00a0Now under the Zumba logo, I am owner of Zumbalishus Fitness. \u00a0I offer group classes to businesses for their employees, private home Zumba parties and also teach in a gym setting. It allows me the freedom to keep my body tight while helping others who may need more creativity or support in a workout.<\/p>\n I have been told many times that I am funny. \u00a0I can get a crowd formed around me in the grocery store line making jokes about a price check.\u00a0 So I was like, \u201cAm I really that<\/em> funny?\u201d\u00a0 So I went to Morty\u2019s Comedy Joint almost two years ago and went on stage during the open mic night. I won the competition just by talking about my week even though I had no real material.<\/p>\n I was invited back and I won again.\u00a0 On my third performance, I won satellite air time to perform comedy. \u00a0I am still gathering material for that.<\/p>\n I left my full time job to follow my passion in life which is health and helping people. So I am employed full-time by me, myself, and I<\/em>, as well as my children and my fiancee.<\/p>\n I have a lot going on this year as we begin planning our wedding.\u00a0 Our adoption of two 5-year old daughters will be\u00a0finalized this year and I also have two teen children of my own.<\/p>\n So really, between my family, my comedy and my Fitness\u00a0Zumba business, it\u2019s like I have\u00a0two<\/em> full time jobs!<\/p>\n I have also been modeling part-time since I was 18. \u00a0It only involves a little traveling.\u00a0 I took a break from it to be devoted to my two children and family. \u00a0I passed up opportunities in other cities in order to provide stability, here in Indy, for my children. \u00a0Just recently, however, I have been doing some commercials for Radio One as well as some voice-overs and print work for local businesses.<\/p>\n I have arrived at the conclusion that I am not on this earth just to work 9 to 5 every day. \u00a0I am \u201cbusting out at the seams\u201d with life and I want to share it with others. \u00a0I believe that making others laugh is a way of healing them. \u00a0I believe motivating someone to be healthy and fit by using<\/em> their body is<\/em> Personally, my biggest motivation is my family and my soul mate Michael.\u00a0\u00a0 My career allows me to be close and supportive of my family, to provide for them and to motivate them.\u00a0 Now I have a partner in crime who is also my partner in life. \u00a0My grandmother, Mrs. Snell, told me \u201cA lady never looks for a man; instead, he should look for her.\u201d\u00a0 She was right and that has come true for me.<\/p>\n I would like to recognize Michael for serving our country and helping\u00a0keep us safe.\u00a0 Now, he is home safe with me. He is also my biggest supporter.\u00a0 He genuinely gets<\/em> me and my goals and he understands my background, so that allows him to love me the way I need<\/em> to be loved.<\/p>\n He also helps me write my material and is my personal body guard.\u00a0 He is also into fitness so we work out together.\u00a0 We even share all the household duties.\u00a0 I know\u2026 pinch me, right…I must be dreaming.\u00a0 But, this is<\/em> my real life. Thank you Michael!<\/p>\n Angel S.![\"porshay](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ampsmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/porshay-2.jpg\")
<\/a>also a way of helping them. \u00a0It can be hard to follow your calling and I have found my place. \u00a0Now, I have to share it with the world.\u00a0 My purpose in life is bigger than me.<\/p>\n
