Autor/-in: Pam Williams

Pam studied fashion at London’s prestigious St Martin’s School of Art with a focus on journalism, PR and styling, and soon after pursued a career in fashion. She then entered the world of magazine publishing as Fashion Co-ordinator for She magazine, going on to work for PS magazine and freelancing for publications such as Fashion Editor at Shape, She and Now magazines. In 2010, Pam made a career change and became a foster carer before moving into education three years later as a supply teaching assistant. What began as a memoir of her mother’s life, which she had started 30 years prior, transformed into a fictionalised story inspired by some of her family’s experiences as part of the so-called Windrush generation and is now A Trace of Sun. Pam lives with her husband in London, together they have one son.
