About
Pamela Fordham is an educator and writer in Western New York. Before retiring from teaching in 2025, she taught English/Language Arts, as well as theatre and public speaking during her 35-year career. Pam also created and taught a Race in America elective for more than ten years.
Pam’s professional ambition has always been to be more than a writing teacher; she practices being a teacher who writes. Throughout her career she published articles, poems, reviews, blogs and narratives, and she compiled a collection of her work in Woman which was adapted into a play. While teaching and writing have been the focus of most of the work she has done in her professional life, she has also worked as a substitute librarian and as an actor in several professional theater productions.
As she endeavors to embrace the “write life,” she is committed to seeking out and telling powerful stories. She hopes her writing fills readers with hope, encouragement and the desire to uncover their own impactful narratives.
Pam enjoys a good breakfast, hearty belly laughs with family and friends, and people-watching as she travels to new places.
