Patricia Velásquez

Creativity is more than just film, pictures, or canvas. It is also an opportunity for philanthropy, charity, and charity and activism. Award-winning actress, a history-making supermodel, a fervent philanthropist, a conscientious activist author, loving mother Patricia Velasquez applies an eternal inventive spirit to all she does. It could be acting in blockbusters like The Curse of La Llorona or launching the Wayuu Taya Foundation and participating in the UNESCO Board. In any case, she has made major steps by drawing upon her instincts and carefully paving her personal pathway. She says, "I see my career as a ladder." "I have been through every step. It was incredible to accomplish this, since there was a long-term vigor. I put my head down, moved one step at a time, and then never stopped." The metaphor closely resembles the moment of formation. The author was born in Venezuela but growing up in France and Mexico after which she moved to Venezuela after just a few years. In South America her parents worked in the field of education. They moved their family to an apartment complex without running water or elevators. To ensure that water was available for the unit, Patricia often carried heavy buckets on fifteen flights of stairs. Between her engineering studies and dance training, she was determined to assist the family in any way she could. In the process of being scouted to model in Milan, the multi-talented model's rise to the top of the fashion world hinged on a promise she made to those she loved. She relates that she was invited to visit Italy by the fashion industry. "If I could send thirty dollars a month back to Venezuela, it would be worth it since that would pay for all the water in the structure." Patricia's accomplishment was a turning point for fashion as she was the first to draw the attention of fashion's industry to South America. Her "first model Karl Lagerfeld photographed" was an enormous breakthrough. Her next step was to appear in shows, front editorial spreads, and even in ads for Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi. With her worldwide fame, she appeared in Oprah and Ford Models' "Supermodel of the World" contests as well. She was also featured on the front covers of Marie Claire, Bazaar and Vogue.
