Here’s My Story

Who Am I?

I am Pamela Nicole Dukes; A passionate, phenomenal purpose-driven Author, Emotional Wellness Life Coach, and speaker.


Raised on the Southside of Chicago, in the Englewood neighborhood, I was cultivated to be an inspiration to individuals who have lost themselves due to emotional injuries.  I am driven to help individuals (with a specialization in women) to discover, obtain and maintain emotional wellness. I believe emotional wellness is the path to purpose and inner happiness.

Where I've Been

My tough and devastating past experiences with mental, psychological, physical, sexual, and domestic abuse, teenage pregnancy, and other horrific life episodes nurtured the development of a phenomenal “trouble” radar that people are drawn to.

By making the choice to embrace and no longer run from my story, my life’s purpose (empowering, coaching, and talking people off a cliff) was realized.

Tomorrow I Will

Today I Am

Today, I have completed my first manuscript, "The Hood's Daughter." I currently use my story to speak and coach people to an emotionally healthy state.  Although the road was tough and there are and will sometimes be bumps, I know perseverance is in the mind of the beholder (me). I will continue to walk in my purpose on purpose because I am my story but not my past.
