philanthropy, charity, and charity and activism. Patricia Velasquez is an
award-winning supermodel and actress with a long history. Also, she is a committed
patron of charity. Author, activist, author and a loving mother. No matter
what, she achieves major strides by drawing on instinct and carefully paving
her personal route. She says, "I see my career as a ladder." "I
have made every step. It was incredible to accomplish that, as it was an
ongoing process. I didn't stop moving, just sat with my head down. This
metaphor is a close resemblance to an event that was a turning point. Born in
Venezuela but educated in France and Mexico after which she moved to Venezuela
after a handful of years. In South America her parents worked in education.
They moved their family into an apartment block without running water or
elevators. Patricia often carried heavy buckets of water for 15 steps to get
water. Between her studies in engineering as well as dance training, she
attempted to help her family in any way she could. The pledge she made to her
family, which was the crucial factor in her rise to the top in the fashion
industry, got her sought-after to model in Milan. She recalls saying,
"When they asked me if I wanted to go to Italy to model, I
responded"If you're able to send thirty bucks a month back home to
Venezuela and it's worth it since that will cover the entire cost of water for
the building's construction'." Patricia's achievements marked an important
turning point in fashion when she brought the attention of the industry to
South America. Her "first model Karl Lagerfeld photographed" was an
incredible breakthrough. The model went on to appear in fashion shows as well
