Yaya DaCosta: Angela Vaughn

Quotes 

• Patricia 'Aunt Piggy' Williams : Now, I told you, you poke that snake, and he'll just slither back into some damn hole, and you might not ever find out what happened to Eve.

  Angela Vaughn : So, what am I supposed to do?

  Patricia 'Aunt Piggy' Williams : Bide your time and hold your tongue. If you want to catch a snake, you got to get close enough to pin it down by the throat.

• Leah Franklin-Dupont : Okay, so, let's go ahead and break into our event committees, shall we? I put Olivia on snack duty.

  Angela Vaughn : It must be fun to be President sometimes.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Oh, you have no idea. And at least we don't have to worry about her getting in the way of your bid now that I've censured her.

  Angela Vaughn : You sure about that?

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Oh, I heard about how you impressed Giselle Hilgard.

  Angela Vaughn : Oh, yeah.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : She told me. You're not only on track to get a bid, Angela You're on track to get an investor. And you're so close, and everything that you want for your business, it can be yours as long as you focus.

• Angela Vaughn : My mom didn't have a lot of money or recipes, but she always had rose water in the kitchen, and honey. These are a couple of her special ingredients. She would sprinkle a little here, drizzle a little there, and it would spice up even the driest of cornbreads.

• Tyrique Chapman : My mother used to always say that people could be two different but equal things at one time.

  Angela Vaughn : With all due respect to your mama, that ain't true. People can present two versions, but one The true version will always show its ugly head. And we all got to get to a-a place in life where we can look that version in the mirror and not look away. That's freedom.

• Angela Vaughn : This dessert is made with rose water, coconut oil, and honey Three of her key ingredients, which I like to think represent her passion, constancy, and sweet inspiration.

• Leah Franklin-Dupont : I asked him about the night your mother was arrested.

  Angela Vaughn : What? W-What did he say?

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : Um, he said that he paid for the best lawyer in Boston. So there's no logic to him setting her up for possession and intent to distribute. I mean, why would he have her arrested?

  Angela Vaughn : Well, um, she was pregnant with me, his illegitimate child. To stop her from going to the press or destroy her reputation, ruin her credibility, shut down any hope of a paternity suit or child support

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : No, that that just seems really extreme. Okay, look sometimes, to feel free from the past, we have to face a cost of an uncomfortable history. I mean, the only reason I even took the risk of asking this was to settle the past, you know? To bring our family together, to move our family forward.

  Angela Vaughn : There's no moving forward if we're not stepping out on the good foot. That means truth, Leah. My mother was hurt.

  Leah Franklin-Dupont : So was mine, in case you forgot. I mean, and she's still hurting. Okay, let's just let's just leave this alone for now, okay?

  Angela Vaughn : Leah. Until I find out exactly what happened to Mama Eve, I am looking under every rock. I will turn this island over and shake it out if I have to.
