Besides being a wife, mother, and grandmother, Pamela D. Smith is an Award-Winning Author, Evangelist, Mentor, and Corporate Professional. She has previously empowered and equipped women by helping them amplify their voice through healing and sharing their stories through her self-publishing services. Understanding that her purpose consists of different assignments, she is shifting her marketplace ministry to helping corporate women amplify their voice and become servant leaders in the marketplace. Pamela’s empowerment is multifaceted, but she states she is most proud of sharing the gospel and praying with the over 60+authors that she has helped go through an inner healing process and served as a publisher for, helping them add a stream of income to finances.
