Owner, Lip Service Media Author, The Father Fracture
Pam Pinnock's life story is a poignant and uplifting testimony to the power of redemption, forgiveness and self-empowerment. Scar tissue of personal pain had begun to corrode the celebrity publicist's soul due to years of chronic physical abuse from a score of boyfriends. But it was within the recesses of her heart that she found the anecdote to heal her deep emotional and physical wounds. Pinnock, the founder of Lip Service Media, penned a book entitled, The Father Fracture, which details how she discovered the prescription for breaking free of her psychological purgatory. It's also the same ingredient she used to achieve true and lasting happiness: herself.
"The problem wasn't the abuser. I felt the problem was me. I had to figure what it was about me that was attracting abusive men in my life. It was almost like I [sought] out abusive men," says Pinnock, who somehow managed to work with the likes of Jay-Z despite her personal turmoil. "It wasn't until I was able to learn and figure out what had happened in my life [and] in my childhood that I was able to put it all together. It stemmed from the treatment that I got from my father."
Domestic abuse, Pinnock summarizes, poisons the spirit and kills the dreams of the victim, oftentimes inflicting irrevocable physiological damage. "It's the most emotionally distressing thing that you can ever be in. The abuser makes you feel like you're worthless. He makes you feel like you can't do any better. You kind [of believe] that this is life; you have to accept the abuse."
Only when Pinnock sought answers within was she able to peel herself off the floor of self-pity, dress her gaping emotional wounds, and allow her inner beauty to shine vibrantly through. Now the woman who has worked with the likes of Ludacris, John Legend, Gucci Mane and (currently with) Jagged Edge on a reality show, aims to be a sunray of hope to others - women and men.
"I'm a grown woman and I still have these aches and memories of my father and the treatment that I received," she says. "But I hope [other abused women] realize that I went on with my life and I'm successful at what I do, and they'll be able to be inspired to get out of their abusive relationships and go on and do productive things. - terry shropshire
