Angela Blackdeer
"I believe strongly in connection, in standing in integrity with one another, and in peer support as a way to sustain ourselves and this profession over time. That belief is what brings me to this work and to facilitating PSCPI groups."
Angela Blackdeeris a trained facilitator, interpreter, and founder of LingoForce. Her work is rooted in Dakotah values and in the belief that interpreters do their best work when they are supported, connected, and not carrying everything alone. Angela has a deep respect for mental health and medical interpreting and for the complexity and emotional weight that comes with that work.
​
As a facilitator, Angela's focus is on creating spaces that are steady, honest, and grounded where people can show up as they are, speak plainly, and learn from one another without judgment. Through LingoForce, her broader goal has always been to support interpreters not just through technology, but through community, fair practices, and care for the people doing the work.
