Pamela Michaux is the author of Mundele Diaries, a raw and powerful memoir about identity, trauma, and resilience.

Born in the Congo and sent to Belgium at seven during political unrest, Pamela was promised safety but instead faced abuse, racism, and abandonment. In Africa she was called “white”; in Europe, she was called a racial slur. Some of her deepest wounds came not from strangers, but from her own family.

At just eight years old, Pamela became the caretaker of her younger siblings. By twelve, she had taken her legal guardians to court, moved into an orphanage, and fought to protect them—acts of courage born from survival.

As an adult, cycles of violence and humiliation resurfaced. While pregnant and working at a private school in Paris, she endured racial abuse and threats. This time, she chose to speak.

After her divorce, Pamela reached a life‑changing realization: pain had become familiar—but no longer acceptable. That awakening led her to write Mundele Diaries, not to expose her past, but to reclaim it.

Though the book was temporarily removed following a betrayal, the final and complete edition will be released on September 23, 2025, in honor of her late mother’s birthday.

Pamela’s story is one of truth, healing, and turning deep wounds into purpose—for herself and for anyone who has ever felt unseen.

Dr. Danica Cicmil holds a PhD in Finance and specializes in teaching investing in a clear, practical, and realistic way.

Born in Kosovo, Danica’s early life was shaped by war and displacement. From a young age, money represented safety, stability, and the freedom to make choices in uncertain times—an experience that continues to influence her work today.

Driven to understand how financial systems truly work, Danica moved to Germany to study finance and later built a career in institutional investing. She worked with a pension fund managing over €150 million in assets, gaining firsthand experience in how long‑term wealth is built quietly, strategically, and without constant market stress.

While completing her PhD, Danica realized something critical: despite the intelligence and complexity within the finance industry, most people are never taught how to invest in a way that feels clear, accessible, and emotionally manageable. Even highly capable individuals often feel overwhelmed or intimidated by investing.

That insight led her to create The Investing Academy by Dr. Danica Cicmil—with a simple but powerful mission: to help people, especially women and beginners, understand investing without jargon, fear, or constant market monitoring.
