About this listen
Before Angalia Bianca became one of Chicago's foremost authorities on violence interruption and prevention, receiving international recognition and a Resolution for Bravery from the City of Chicago, she was a criminal, a master manipulator, and a brilliant con artist. Bianca spent 12 years in prison for forgery, embezzlement, drug dealing, and theft. But now she has gone far beyond the expectations for recovery to a life of service fueled by an unrelenting determination to make a difference.
Bianca was once a gang member; now she puts her life on the line to interrupt gang violence. For 36 years she was a heroin addict; now she mentors people in recovery. She was homeless; now she appears as an invited guest to speak at events across the country and around the world. Bianca crawled out of the deepest hole imaginable; now through her work with the renowned violence prevention group Cure Violence, she climbs back down to change lives.
In Deep is a blunt, honest look at Bianca's life. Her mind-blowing stories take listeners deep into a world of grit and gang violence that seems inescapable. Her story is at once fascinating, terrifying, and ultimately full of hope.

Very interesting with great narration
I very much enjoy drug addiction, memoirs and prison memoirs so when I saw this story included aspects of both I was interested. I really enjoyed listening to this memoir and was brought to tears a few times well written and well read.

Gripping story in all its depravity & heartache
The story was exceptionally good however the story teller had a flat boring voice that was somewhat depressing and not due to the content. She read with insufficient expression. I think if I’d listened to a sample I’d have passed on by on this one.

The narcissistic criminal
The authors constant reference to her own brilliance, outstanding bravery, intelligence, uniqueness and overall awesomeness was vomit inducing.
