Pamella Onoriode is an award-winning virtual speaker whose extraordinary life story underpins her mission to inspire and equip women worldwide. Named Virtual Speaker of the Year in 2024, she has become highly sought after for her visionary approach to women’s empowerment, particularly through menstrual cycle awareness as a tool for personal and professional advancement. Her voice resonates with audiences because it is rooted in lived experience, profound insight and an unwavering belief in the potential of every woman to thrive.
Pamella’s early life began on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, where survival was a daily challenge. After moving to the UK at a young age, she navigated a turbulent childhood in London, facing homelessness for a second time. These hardships shaped both her resilience and her determination to build a life defined not by circumstance but by purpose. She went on to carve out an impressive career in the media industry, rising to positions such as Production Manager at the BBC and Senior Production Manager at Channel 4. Motivated by her own journey, she later trained as a certified Self Care Activist and Soft Skill Trainer, recognising the essential role that emotional intelligence and wellbeing play in a healthy and productive workplace.
Pamella is the Founder of Boss Your Career, a platform dedicated to helping women advance professionally through strategic career planning, network building and confident salary negotiation. Her work is strengthened by her certification from the Red School, enabling her to guide women in harnessing menstrual cycle awareness to enhance performance and leadership. She also speaks extensively on structural issues that disadvantage women, including the male-centric nature of workplace systems, the medical research data gap and the persistent oversight of women in mainstream health tracking. These insights position her not only as a motivational speaker but also as a thought leader advocating for meaningful systemic change.
Pamella is an exceptional motivational speaker because she combines deep expertise with genuine relatability. Her journey from adversity to leadership allows her to connect with audiences on a human level, while her professional background provides the practical tools needed for transformation. She offers a rare blend of authenticity, strategic guidance and visionary thinking, empowering women to optimise their careers by understanding both their strengths and their cycles. With her passion, clarity and commitment to elevating others, Pamella Onoriode is an invaluable addition to any event seeking inspiration, empowerment and impactful change.
