Angelot Ndongmo was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario but lives Brampton, Ontario. She is one of three sisters and has been a youth worker for many years. She had a confused childhood in which she and her sisters were the only Black children is school. When she was younger, she realized that a lot of environment did not reflect her. Because of this, she realized when she need to write books for young Black children. As an author, she wants to instill positivity in young Black children and have them being in love with who they are. The books in the “Loving Me” series are her first children’s books and first contribution towards helping to fill that void.
