Kids shouldn’t be stopped from playing their favourite sports because they can’t find active wear. Committed to helping kids thrive and not experience the negative impacts of having to leave their teams, their friends, and experience weight-stigmatizing clothing practices at a young age, Pam Luk (she/her) is determined to change the children’s apparel landscape with her company, Ember & Ace. Growing up playing sports, Pam learned the importance of finding active wear that fits. Not finding functional clothing is one of the main reasons kids quit sports, so Pam launched Ember & Ace exclusively for plus size kids with a focus on comfort and performance.
Pam's career has spanned the federal, commercial, and nonprofit sectors where she worked in project management and IT consulting. She holds an International Business & Economics degree from SUNY Brockport. Pam lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, daughter, and two dogs.Please check out Ember & Ace.
