Pamela A. Anchang was born in Cameroon, Africa. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a
journalist, a passion that she cultivated as a young child radio-host in her native Cameroon for a
program called Children’s Magazine. Finding it almost impossible to pursue her dream in
Cameroon, she left for the United States of America amid political upheavals.
Upon arrival in the United States, like many immigrants, she struggled to integrate the culture and
soon became a foreign language and culture middle school teacher in Prince George’s County
Public Schools in Maryland. She later transitioned into a new career in computer network
engineering, which was more financially rewarding but not fulfilling. After working for a couple
of years in this field, she decided to turn that around and live her purpose. Her passion to write
and speak about women’s issues and the immigrant struggle took over and she embarked on
making that a reality. This came with a set of challenges.
She created The Immigrant Magazine online in 2003 as a medium to publish her articles and
provide informative resources to immigrants. In 2004 she started a free print publication that grew
from 4-60 pages. In 2013 for greater and national circulation the print magazine morphed into a
daily web blog and weekly e-newsletter. This platform is currently being transformed into an
online TV network that will aggregate and distribute compelling digital content about immigrants
in the US. Her magazine has served companies and institutions such as Walt Disney, The City of
Los Angeles, AIDS Walk NY/LA, The Hollywood Carnival, MoneyGram International, Los
Angeles Metro, multiple small businesses, famous ethnic film festivals, and multi-cultural events
in Los Angeles for outreach to immigrant communities. Today Pamela is the creator and host of
IMPact With Pamela Anchang on KPFK Pacifica Radio for Los Angeles, Southern California,
and the World. IMPact is not only a radio show but also a televised show whose mission is to
bridge and bring America together through storytelling and meaningful dialog with one another.
Pamela is also now on her way to realizing her vision of building a media empire for minority
communities through her next project Africa Speaks, a TV show whose mission is to be the new
home for showcasing the lifestyles, success stories, challenges, and aspirations of African
immigrants and people of African descent. All these shows are distributed on The Immigrant
Magazine’s YouTube channel TIMTV Voice of Immigrants In America.
Pamela is also an ardent advocate for humane immigration reform and the movement to restore
the misplaced dignity of immigrants. She has been chronicled by The Los Angeles Times,
National Public Radio (NPR), The Africa Channel, and VOA/Voice Of America. Many ethnic
immigrant organizations, political leaders, immigrant advocates, and influencers recognize The
Immigrant Magazine as the legitimate inclusive voice for immigrants. Pamela is on a mission to
change the negative perception of immigrants. She represents and carries the voice of
marginalized immigrant women and children in the US. She is a great TV host and expert on
social issues relevant to immigrants on immigration, education, career, entertainment, travel,
family, and culture. She profiles immigrant achievers and celebrities.
Pamela is married to Charles Anchang, Publisher/CEO of The Immigrant Magazine Inc. and
Executive Producer of IMPact With Pamela Anchang. Charles is also an avid entrepreneur in
many business ventures. They have 3 children together.
