My name is Lolo Cordes and my pronouns are She/Her! My role within the Star City Chorus is Choir Co Manager and I have the absolute pleasure of sending out communications within this group! A fun fact about me is that I am an avid Rubber Ducky collector. I have an entire bathroom themed for Rubber Ducks and I like to host Duck Hunts during holidays when I host them. I have themed rubber ducks for these holidays! I am passionate about creating safe communities for everyone to have a space in. I believe we all have a right to autonomy and as long as our actions aren't hurting others, we should be treated respectfully in our choices throughout life. I am passionate about service and inclusion.

In her free time, Angela enjoys camping, taking care of her two four-legged children (Shadow - pictured here, and Mea), advocating for change, and celebrating life with her chosen family.

I am obsessed with hummingbirds, I have 6 feeders for them all around my house, along with 5 additional feeders for my song birds. I enjoy sitting on my deck drinking coffee and watching our hummingbirds go from one feeder to another.

I am a huge fan of human rights, empathy, compassion, and kindness. So pretty much anything supporting folks and animals in our community I can get behind. My family likes donating to the Capital Humane Society, People's City Mission, and Willy's Closet.

Fun Fact: I randomly met Maya Angelou at an airport in Chicago when I was 16 years old and I followed her until I got the guts to talk to her. She was lovely. Causes I Am Passionate About: Violence Prevention, Social and Racial Justice.
