About
Pamela Fordham is a retired teacher in Western New York. Her parents, also career educators, moved to Western New York when Pam was two, and the Western New York community began the “village work” of making her into a teacher. In addition to teaching high school English, she also created and taught Race in America, a course for students to learn about and participate in discussions that focus intensely on the issues related to race in America.
Pam has strived to be more than a writing teacher; she hopes to be known as a teacher who writes. She has published poems, articles, reviews and essays. Some of her published work can be found on this website, in the Afro American Historical Association’s Journal of Afro-American History, and the Alert of the Amherst Education Association. She also compiled a collection of her own poetry and essays in Woman which was adapted into a play.

Her most recent project is Who Will Tell My Story?, a deeply personal invitation to reflect, remember, and reclaim your voice. Through 52 weeks of themed reflections, she explores the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and inspire.
