In a world that often thrives off the glorification of the superficial, the example of a Grove/Diamond Primary School teacher may not at all be an inappropriate one to follow. She is simplicity and grace personified and all too often these qualities are overlooked for others that are infinitely less worthwhile.
Pamela is also a business owner. ‘Doubling up’ in terms of employment is not an uncommon propensity in Guyana. She is, as well, a wife and a mother. As a teacher, she has dedicated herself to empowering her school, her charges and her community through her commitment to modesty, her passion for education, and her love for her family and community. These, unquestionably, are virtues to resoundingly applaud. Her entrepreneurial journey began with a deep admiration for women who dress modestly. “My inspiration to establish a boutique of my own was the admiration of seeing ladies dress modestly,” shared Mrs. Bacchus. It was this that motivated her to ‘follow her heart’ and eventually to establish Monique’s, her very own Boutique.
