Why I Joined the First Ladies of Poverty Foundation (FLP):
​

     I was born and raised in Quito,Ecuador. Grew up in a family of hard-work[ing] men and women, who did everything for their family. Since I was a little girl, I [felt] entrepreneurship r[an] in my blood. I would use my bedroom window as a store and sell my toys to friends and family. I [grew up] in a middle-class family. Life was good until my tween years where my dad lost his job, and we went from a middle-class family to a family that barely had food on their plate.

     My parents moved me and my siblings to the U.S. when I was 16. The culture shock was, well, shocking (hahaha), but I always made the best of it no matter what. I love to learn and used to take random classes that I found interesting in community colleges in my town. I am an extremely hard worker, a trait that I learned from my parents. Very extroverted, which got me in trouble, but every experience has been a learning lesson that I am grateful for.

​    [I decided to join FLP] because of their mission and who they care for.  I bring design and lifestyle coaching to FLP. I felt aligned with what FLP stands for, and felt that I can [truly make a positive impact] by mentoring with confidence, acceptance and help [others] understand that we do not need to follow societal standards to feel good and believe in yourself. I am hoping to grow my business and build a company where I can provide work to woman in the BIPOC and minority community and create a more sustainable environment in the design industry. I always want to learn new skill, specially in the financial industry, have a better relationship with money.

Professional Bio

​     Pamela is a fashion lover, mom to 3 dogs, multi-passionate and creative [who] loves to help people, especially with embracing who they are. The latter inspired her to create a personal blog where she shared daily outfits and life experiences to prove that not everybody has their life together, that you don't need tons of money or fancy outfits to look and feel good, and that it is ok to be a mess. That is how Embrace the Mess came to life. From a blog, it turned into a lifestyle coaching business maintaining the same message.

​     While [she] was working on my coaching business, [she noticed] that the part I enjoyed the most [about her business] was creating--designing and chos[ing] to turn [her] coaching business into a creative consulting company where [she] not only gets to design but also gets to encourage and motivate women, minorities, and small business owners that it is not easy to start a business but it is extremely rewarding [to] see the results of doing what you love. That is how Embrace the Mess came to life. From a blog, it turned into a lifestyle coaching business maintaining the same message.
