Pamela George is a financial powerhouse, but it wasn’t always that way. 

Born into poverty and raised by an illiterate mother, Pamela George, a first-generation Canadian, now counsels numerous influential Canadian women, about the power of financial literacy.

Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Pamela spent the first 25 years of her life struggling and living in poverty. She was subjected to bullying, humiliation, and abuse, all because she was poor.

Her mother couldn’t read or write but was very good at making money. Still, though, she made some terrible money mistakes that ripped the family apart and caused her and her two youngest children, one of whom included Pamela, to be homeless for many years. The effects of which are still being felt four generations later.

Pamela believes that if her mother had fully understood how money worked, educated herself on how to manage it, and healed herself from her money trauma, those mistakes could have been avoided.

You can understand why – at a very young age – Pamela promised herself not to follow the same fate as her mother. She was able to break the cycle of poverty, heal from her childhood money trauma, and today, stands proud as a financially empowered woman!

Now, Pamela teaches women how to be Financially Empowered through her online membership community: The Fempower Initiative®.
