2020- #175 UP CLOSE & PERSONAL W/ AUTHOR PATRICE RIVERS

Patrice Rivers wears many hats in the world of entrepreneurship. She is currently residing in Suffolk, VA where Virginia State University’s blue and orange bleeds through her veins graduating from the HBCU in May 2009 in Petersburg, VA.  Patrice majored in Mass Communications where she had a minor in writing earning her Bachelors of Arts degree.  She started writing at the tender age of only nine where creating short stories was more than just a hobby. Patrice has a very vivid and creative imagination when it comes to words. Poetry has and will always be her first love. Since she was 15, Patrice took a strong interest in writing poems. Throughout the years, writing poetry has always been a therapeutic way to expressing her true feelings.  Patrice’s creativity took her all the way to publishing her first book of poetry in 2012 entitled “A Collection of God’s Word and Motivation” which is a great seller.  The following year her second book of poetry was published in 2013 called “Lyrical Passion Tears from my Inkwell” where she encourages and captivates her reader’s attention through real situations and encouraging words.  Patrice has published a total of nine books with two of them being children’s books about a little girl living with Sickle Cell Disease. As a survivor and person living with SCD herself, she wanted to create not only a children’s book, but a series called “Come Learn with Patricia” that will serve as an educational tool for kids and adults as well in communities.  Patrice is also the proud owner and creator of That Riverz Girl Brand LLC which consists of different facets such as Books, Media, Journalism, Health and Wellness and, Services. Her media platform Versafi Media is a platform for men and women that are business owners, entrepreneurs and authors that allows them to talk about their brand, business, product or service.   “Let’s Talk Cell Talk” is a health platform that promotes and spreads awareness of Sickle Cell Disease. Patrice is determined to educate communities by talking about her personal testimony living with SCD and creating her own Facebook Live Series called “Let’s Talk Cell Talk” She plans to write more books relating to her life as well as children books.  Patrice is very passionate about the writing community and wants to expand her writing services to a small writing boutique providing services to new authors, continuous authors, brands, business owners and entrepreneurs all over.  This determined boss babe is nothing more than passionate, a goal digger, creative, professional and unique with her brand.  She hopes to someday expand her brand to a wider audience in the world of business.
