Sober Mine: Letting Go of Blac Chyna and Living My Faith

Ten years after her E! reality series Rob & Chyna aired, entrepreneur and actress Angela White, formerly known as Blac Chyna, shares the personal transformation that led her away from fame, addiction, and public scrutiny toward faith, sobriety, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Born Angela Renée White in Washington, DC, Angela first gained national attention in 2010 as Nicki Minaj’s stunt double in Kanye West’s Monster video. A shout-out from Drake that same year helped propel her into the spotlight, while her work at Miami’s King of Diamonds and high-profile relationships with rapper Tyga and Rob Kardashian further cemented her celebrity.

Behind the public image, however, Angela struggled with alcohol addiction and the pressures of a life increasingly disconnected from the person she wanted to be. Four years ago, she made the decision to reclaim herself by stepping away from the toxic aspects of fame, removing several cosmetic enhancements, and committing to sobriety for herself and her children.

Sober Mine is about far more than overcoming addiction. It is a story of redemption, balance, and rebuilding from the inside out. Angela returned to her faith, was baptized in 2022, and has continued her spiritual journey while pursuing studies in divinity and religious education.

With honesty, humor, and her unmistakably direct voice, Angela reflects on the experiences that brought her to the world stage and challenges many of the assumptions formed during her reality television years. Sober Mine is ultimately a testimony to faith, resilience, and the belief that you do not have to be perfect to create the life you deserve—you just have to keep moving forward.
