Ashro Woman: Pamela J.

Meet Ashro Woman of the Week, Pamela J. from Houston, TX

So beautiful and confident, this retired educator has a seriously stunning sense of style! Like many of us, expressing herself through style is a big part of who she is. She wears hats several times a month and wigs daily—all different lengths and styles. Her truest beauty, however, lies in her focus: family, service, and unconditional love.

Pamela’s mom, a retired nurse, has been her greatest role model. At 90 years young, she’s made a difference in the lives of others through “her advice, love, and patience.” Pamela describes her as an inspiring example of “how to be a loving, supportive, and honest person”. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! As a member of Delta Sigma Theta, Pamela believes in addressing the issues of society and making a difference. Her best advice? “Prayer still works.”
