Patricia Velásquez
Creativity goes beyond film, pictures, or canvas. It can also be an inspiration for philanthropy and charity and also activism. Patricia Velasquez, an award-winning actress, history-making model, staunch philanthropist and conscientious activist, and a mother who is devoted to her children, brings a constant creative spirit to all she does regardless of whether she is starring in blockbusters such as The Curse of La Llorona or launching the Wayuu Taya Foundation, and being as a member of the UNESCO Board. She relies on her intuition and creates her own path, making great strides. She states, "I see my career as a long ladder." "I have taken every step. It was incredible to do so, since there has been longevity. I didn't stop moving, just kept my head down. The metaphor directly resembles a formative experience. The author was born in Venezuela but growing up in France and Mexico after which she moved to Venezuela after a couple of years. In South America her parents worked in education. They relocated their family into an apartment that was without water and had no elevators. Patricia took 15 steps up using heavy buckets in order to provide water to the unit. She tried to help her family as much as she could despite pursuing engineering as well as pursuing a dance education. The opportunity to model was offered to her in Milan, the multi-talented model's rise to the heights of the fashion world was contingent on a promise made to the people she loved. She remembers being asked to travel to Italy by the fashion industry. "If I could afford to send thirty dollars per month to Venezuela, it would be worth it because that will be enough to cover the cost of all the water used in the structure." Patricia's accomplishment was a significant change in fashion in that she gained attention for South America for first time. Patricia was able to make headlines when she became "the first model Karl Lagerfeld ever photographed" and later, she walked in shows, be a part of editorial spreads, and advertisements for front pages of Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Chloe, Cover Girl, and Victoria's Secret to name just a few. The world was abuzz with her presence, she appeared on Oprah and Ford Models' "Supermodel of the World" contest as well. The covers of her book also appeared of Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire and a host of other magazines.
