My Story
MY NAME IS PAM SIMS
I am an artist and surface pattern designer but, I am also an advocate in the fight against human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
I am so glad you stopped by this page.
This is the most important section on my website. Let me tell you a story about how it all began.
In 2017 I had the privilege of going to Germany to work with an organization called Kianos.
Kainos is a nonprofit ministry working against human trafficking and sexual exploitation through prostitution in Stuttgart, Germany and around the world.
After spending time with the beautiful young women in the brothels I left Germany changed. I knew that I had to do more than what I had done. I started with a simple piece of jewelry, a necklace with 6 small charms. Five of those represented a letter in the word Brave.
B-Beautiful (a pearl)
R-Ransomed (an icthus)
A-Adored (a flower)
V-Victorious (a palm leaf)
E-Empowered (a cross)
The last charm added was a butterfly that represents freedom. I wanted my customers to wear that necklace and know that they were part of changing a young woman's future. In addition I added a bracelet as well.
Each piece of jewelry that I made I gave a portion of the profits to Kianos. B ut, I knew I wanted to do more. So, after taking some time away from creating jewelry I decided that I had to do something that would have lasting beauty and an eternal impact of the lives of these young women. That is when I began painting and designing surface patterns. It quickly became my passion!
Every item sold from this website will help with this important work. I am committed to helping in this fight. I hope you will join me. When you buy a painting I will give a portion of all my proceeds to organizations like Kianos
I hope you will join me in ending the sex trafficking of young women in Germany and around the world.
