Angela Yausheva is a spoken word artist, whose work delves into resilience, identity, and the intricacies of self-discovery. Drawing from themes of displacement and introspection, her verses confront the intersections of inner strength, memory, and a search for home. Angela is a member of the Federation of Writers (Scotland), I Am Loud Community (Edinburgh), and Glasgow City of Poets. In 2019, Angela was awarded an MC Prize at a poetry slam in Copenhagen, in 2020 she headlined Troubled Tongues Spoken Word Night, and in 2025 she was a feature act at the Raise the Vibration Festival (The Bread and Roses Theatre) with her spoken word piece “no control”. Her work has been published in Product Mag, GUPS Poetry Zine (awaiting publication in The Poetry Lighthouse and Into Poetry), and showcased by the Scottish Poetry Library and Stanza International Poetry Festival Poetry Film Contest.
