Patricia Velásquez

Creativity transcends images, canvas, film and other media. It also stimulates charity as well as philanthropy and activism. Award-winning actress, history-making supermodel, staunch philanthropist, conscientious activist as well as a writer and loving mother Patricia Velasquez applies an eternal imaginative spirit to everything she does, whether it's starring in blockbusters a la The Curse of La Llorona or launching the Wayuu Taya Foundation and participating in the UNESCO Board. No matter what, she achieves major leaps by drawing from her intuition and consciously paving her own route. She states, "I see my career as a ladder." "I took every single step up. It was amazing to accomplish that, given that there was a long-term vigor. I just lay my head on the floor and moved one step at the time. Then it was over. The imagery is directly similar to the experience of forming. The author was born in Venezuela but growing up in France and Mexico, she relocated to Venezuela after a few years. In South America, her parents worked in education before moving the family into a crowded apartment with no water and inoperable elevators. Patricia often carried buckets of water up 15 steps to provide water. Between her dance and engineering training, Patricia tried to help the family by any means she could. The commitment she made to her family was the key to her rise to the top in the fashion industry, got her sought-after to model in Milan. She relates, "When they asked me to travel to Italy I told them, 'If can send thirty dollars per month to Venezuela and it's worth it as it will be enough to cover the whole building's water'." Patricia's achievements marked a turning point for fashion as she was the first to draw the attention of the industry to South America. The "first model Karl Lagerfeld photographed" was an incredible breakthrough. Her next step was to be featured in shows and front editorial spreads and even in commercials for Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi. With her worldwide fame, she was a part of Oprah as well as Ford Models' "Supermodel of the World" contests as well. Not to mention, she graced the covers of Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire and many more.
