Hi, I’m Patrice and I’m the founder of a digital marketing agency, called Pink Ship.

What’s one word you’d use to describe your entrepreneurial journey so far?

One word I would use to describe my entrepreneurial journey so far is, WHEW! That’s the word because it has been a rollercoaster, ups and downs. I mean, thank God, it’s amazing right now and I couldn’t be more grateful but it has been a journey for sure.

When it comes to Black women- what do we need to normalise?

Normalise black women being happy. Can we be happy?

What’s your favourite thing about being a Black woman?

My favourite thing about being a black woman, it’s everything, everything, I can’t even say one thing. It’s great, we love it, we love it here.

What do you love most about being a Black female founder?

I think what I love most about being a black female founder is that I haven’t let any obstacles or restrictions stop me from achieving what I wanted to achieve. I get to say that I did it regardless and I love that.
