Who is Patrice? Patrice is funny...well at least she thinks so, creative and on a personal mission to inspire people, especially girls, all over the world to learn and love themselves.
Born and raised in the great city of Cincinnati Ohio, she studied at the University of Cincinnati, earning a BA in Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies. Patrice is a proud product of our public school system and a graduate of the illustrious School for Creative and Performing Arts where she majored in drama, visual arts and technical theater. Both her institutions of education and civic involvement have fueled an illuminating passion for life and a desire to help others maximize their own potential. She's had the opportunities to serve in this capacity for a few organizations including: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, The University of Cincinnati, The Miss Black Ohio Organization The Anthony Munoz Foundation and The Girl Scouts of South Western Ohio and Greater Atlanta. Ecstatic about her work as a motivator and champion of inspiration, Patrice embraces opportunities to further education equity for underrepresented girls as well as furthering practices of self-care among Black women.
Currently, Patrice is earning her MA in Africana Women's Studies at Clark Atlanta University.
