Patricia Velásquez

Creativity goes beyond films, canvas, photos and other media. It also spurs charitable as well as philanthropy and activism. Patricia Velasquez is an award-winning supermodel, actress, and actor. She is also a fervent philanthropist. Author activist, author, and loving mother. In any case, she has made major strides by drawing on instinct and consciously paving her own way. "I see my work as a huge staircase," she says. "I did every step up. It was remarkable to do it, because it was an ongoing process. I didn't stop moving, I just kept my head in the air. The analogy closely resembles an event that was a turning point. The woman was born in Venezuela however, she was raised in France or Mexico. After just two years, she made the decision to relocate to Venezuela. In South America, her parents worked in education , and then relocated the family into an crowded apartment without water and inoperable elevators. Patricia often carried buckets of water over 15 steps to supply water. She tried to assist her family in any way she could, despite studying engineering as well as pursuing a dance education. The opportunity to model in Milan and her ascent to the heights of fashion depended on a promise she made to her loved ones. She remembers being required to travel to Italy to model for the fashion industry. "If I could send thirty dollars per month to Venezuela the cost would be worthwhile because it will cover all the water in the structure." Patricia's accomplishment was a turning point in fashion as she drew media attention to South America for the first time. The "first modeling gig Karl Lagerfeld photographed" was an incredible breakthrough. She went on to appear in fashion shows and front editorial spreads and even in advertisements for Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi. The model was also featured in Oprah's "Supermodel of the World Contest" hosted by Ford Models. She also appeared on the covers of Marie Claire, Bazaar and Vogue.
