Meet Pamela Ricardo, a Certified Life, Fitness, and Nutrition Coach with a passion for empowering women mentally and physically. With over 15 years of experience as an Actress and a background in personal training, Pamela's journey has been one of resilience and personal growth. Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Marietta, Georgia, Pamela faced her fair share of challenges. Growing up with five brothers, two of whom are now deceased, she experienced a strained family life and endured bullying in high school. However, Pamela refused to be defined by her circumstances. Instead, she turned to her love for reading and writing, finding solace and inspiration in books and movies. It was during this time that Pamela discovered her passion for the arts, ignited by Jasmine Guy's portrayal of Whitley Gilbert in the 90s sitcom "A Different World." Although she didn't initially believe her dream could become a reality, Pamela knew she was meant to entertain and captivate audiences. Throughout her late teens and early 20s, Pamela worked tirelessly in multiple jobs to support herself. In 2007, an opportunity presented itself when she was approached about a career in acting. With no prior experience, she took on her first stage play and never looked back. Pamela's acting credits include a recurring role on two seasons of BET's "The Quad" alongside Anika Noni Rose, CMT's "Still The King" starring Billy Ray Cyrus, and The CW's hit television series "The Vampire Diaries." Pamela earned her signature nickname, "Pamela The Beauty," after winning the 2009 Miss Black Manhattan USA Pageant in New York City. Her platform, "Chase Your Dreams," remains a driving force in her life. It was through this pageant experience that Pamela gained self-confidence, developed her public speaking skills, and discovered her passion for empowering other women. Alongside her acting career, Pamela found fulfillment in fitness and became a personal trainer. Her clients' transformative results not only gained her recognition in the fitness industry but also revealed the profound impact of mindset shifts on their overall well-being. Today, Pamela has dedicated her life to empowering women mentally and physically. Recognizing that her clients were not only excited about physical transformation but also deeply moved by the mindset shifts they experienced, Pamela embraced the role of a Life Coach. Drawing upon her diverse skill set, she strives to bring out the best in every woman she encounters. Pamela firmly believes that we all have a unique story that can empower us rather than hold us back. She is passionate about helping women harness the power of their own narratives to create lasting positive change.

Jerry David and his wife Susan have been married for 48 years and have raised two children, now with children of their own. Having been in ministry most of his adult life, and founding and pastoring a church in Lincoln Nebraska 32 years ago, he now finds himself strengthening and encouraging other leaders and influencers, educators, and most importantly - parents, in the USA as well as many other nations. Living, as we all do, in an ever-shifting culture and evolving paradigm, the stresses and challenges facing parents, educators, and leaders is now reaching a point of critical mass. Family units coming apart, long-time values and principles being undermined at every level, along with a decreasing lack of confidence in our ability to address these changes, makes the message of Dr. Jerry David even more relevant and needed in this hour. His vast pastoral experience along with his own upbringing and parenting helps him to be uniquely qualified to approach families and educators with a simple but effective commonsense approach to basic principles that must be re-visited and re-established in our families if we’re to see the home, the family and the nation survive. You will enjoy his humor, his stories, and his inspiration. You will leave with a new and renewed vision to establish a legacy and heritage for yourself that ultimately brings fulfillment to each life and home. More than anything, he will use commonsense to return you to commonsense in your approach to parenting and leading the next generation.

Dr. Steve Perry, MSW - Biography It starts with the belief that those who can do better, should. Dr. Steve Perry’s career is framed by the belief that each of us has something to contribute to the community. As he attended public housing tenants’ association meetings with his mother, Perry’s commitment to doing better became the force that drove him to do better. From his start in high school as a volunteer on Reverend Jesse Jackson’s 1988 presidential campaign to graduating from the Ivy League, then returning to his hometown of Middletown, CT to run the homeless shelter, Dr. Perry has sought opportunities to do better. No experience has more precisely applied his belief that those who can do better, should, than starting schools. Though he is the author of four books, and a contributor to Steve Harvy’s bestseller “Jump,” nothing more effectively carries Dr. Perry’s voice than the six schools he has opened and continues to lead. The Capital Preparatory Schools began in Hartford, CT in 2005. They expanded to an elementary school in Hartford in 2008, Bridgeport, CT in 2015, Harlem in 2016, another elementary school in Bridgeport in 2017, and then another 6-12 in the Bronx, NY in 2020. Serving over 2,000 primarily low-income minority first-generation collegiates, in grades pre-k to 12th grade, Capital Prep has sent 100% of its graduates to four-year colleges, every year since it opened in 2005. The unparalleled success of Capital Prep Schools has made Dr. Perry an internationally renowned educational leader, speaker, bestselling author and advocate. There are few modern urban educators more listened to than Dr. Steve Perry. Although his success in the schools has provided him with countless opportunities outside of education, Dr. Perry remains on the front lines of America’s most dangerous and impoverished communities. Years as the education contributor on CNN, appearances on MSNBC, FOX as well as internationally for Al Jezeera, Chinese and South Korean national television, have not taken Perry away from his schools. In fact, he has used the increased visibility to open more. After being featured on the TVONE high docuseries Save My Son, Dr. Perry opened his 3rd school in Bridgeport. As he and Sean “Diddy” Combs joined forces to open Capital Prep Harlem, CBS and Fox created a daytime show for Perry, Breakthrough with Dr. Steve Perry. A year later, he was featured on OWN in Fix My Life, which he followed by opening Capital Prep Bronx. Dr. Perry knows he can do better and does. Parents, advocates, educators, and celebrities seek his counsel because they know that he continues to do the work. Dr. Perry has remained true to the fight for the voiceless. What started as the belief that if people can do better, they should remain the life pursuit of Dr. Steve Perry.
