Miss A Columnist

Pam Renee is an original WHO DAT LOUISIANA girl, now dwelling in the suburbs of Dallas, which isn’t so bad of a distance when the craving for a spicy Creole dish, warm powdered beignets, or her favorite drive-thru daiquiri spot cannot be shaken. She flew the coop and attended Tennessee State University in Nashville obtaining a degree in Psychology, and relocated to Dallas. Afterwards, she moved to DC for a few years long enough to determine those brutal winters were not for her, relocated to Atlanta, and eventually came back to Dallas.
She can be described as a vogue-a-holic by default, a socialite by nature, and a shoe-preneur by trade. She delights in the unexpected, has a tongue in cheek approach to tradition, never wears just anything, miscellaneous is her favorite category, and lastly – is easily spoiled by all things fabulous and swanky.
After business hours and on the weekends, you can find her in her zone -- hosting or attending a fashionable event, turning the pages of her collection of fashion and lifestyle magazines to build her social calendar, or designing a stiletto inspired gathering via her mobile shoe bar, How You Shoe’In? pronounced in your best Wendy Williams voice. A lover of shoes since her first pair of pink plastic Barbie heels, she still loves the instant gratification that shoes provide, and has incorporated shoe themed events incorporating stiletto fitness, shoe themed apparel and accessories, and philanthropy -- where shoes are donated to women in need and includes an inspiration note to help remind them to put their best foot forward daily.
Pam loves the Big D (Dallas) because there is always a wide and various array of things available to do, so it has become the norm for her to try to be in two, three, maybe four places in one evening when her calendar gets really tight. She has unintentionally made a name for herself by being the GO TO person for friends, family, (sometimes strangers) desiring something unique, something fabulous, something chic, to attend, stay, entertain, dine, wine, network, or shop. All that she has suggested has remarkably always come back to her with great reviews.
If you have a Dallas charity or cultural event, restaurant, boutique, spa, or salon you would like covered on Miss A, please contact Pam at pamreneepr@yahoo.com. You may also follow her on her very soon-to-be released personal blog at http://lifefabulousnessandthepursuitofswankyness.wordpress.com.

The evening will commence with red carpet interviews conducted by CBS 11 Entertainment Reporter Sandie Newton, along with a star-studded cast and incredible unsung heroes. It will be a combination of incredible entertainment, compelling accomplishments and powerful vignettes telling the stories of amazing women.

“It was my goal when creating the awards show to  see it televised. Honoring women from diverse communities and backgrounds for  their personal and professional accomplishments has always been my dream,” said Gina. ”Our theme this year is BELIEVE! The journey we as women have traveled has  not been easy. Yet, it is our courage and belief in ourselves and one another that has brought us to where we are in society. I want all women to BELIEVE they can Soar!”

The WTS Awards will bring legendary female artists together with powerful musical performances on one stage for one night with one goal: To empower, inspire, honor and celebrate the accomplishments of women. The WTS Awards provide real answers to the everyday challenges of women while celebrating each woman’s journey.

Gina’s ultimate goal for WTS was to be a catalyst for change and accelerating progress towards positive media content, while building and managing products that educate, empower, and enhance the personal, professional and lifestyle growth of today’s woman.
