Description
"'A Day at the Fare' is a wonderful idea carried out very, very well." --Nikki Giovanni, poet, author, activist, and educator

Pamela M. Covington is a public speaker, inspirational writer, and anti-poverty advocate. Her memoir tells the story of how, through no fault of her own, she once plummeted from a cozy, middle-class lifestyle into one of ugly, deep poverty--and painstakingly struggled to make a way out.

She wrote A Day at the Fare to inspire others facing adversity to press on with resourcefulness and determination, but also to provide an accurate portrayal of what it's like to live on welfare, as well as to demonstrate the importance of preserving and improving our nation's anti-poverty programs. The book is based on her actual public assistance records.

During Pamela's past encounter with hardship she learned a number of transformational life lessons, many of which she now takes to the stage in the form of keynote speeches, storytelling, and other presentations. She is an alumna of The Moth, an organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling.

Pamela has earned masters degrees in Management and Human Resources Management and a bachelors degree in Communications.

FROM THE COVER:

Imagine.

You're living a good life in a grand old house with your family, spending your summer looking out from your veranda onto a picturesque park and enjoying the scent of flowers in the air--until fall arrives and you're beholding a multi-colored canopy of foliage.

But by winter you're stealing toilet tissue from a restaurant restroom and wondering what you're going to do with your first welfare check that won't even pay the rent for the ghetto apartment you and your children are now calling home.

The reality is we're all only living one or two misfortunes away from losing the people or things we're depending upon and, if and when that happens, you could easily find yourself enduring A Day at the Fare.

What would you be willing to do to survive its grim circumstances?
