the show aired, I could hit the pavement running, and not have to worry
about my children. That had a lot to
do with why I wasn’t doing as much
as I could. I felt like my responsibility
was to raise my children and not have
someone else doing it. My mother is
deceased, so it’s not like I had her
to help me. We’re in talks of doing
our own reality series, being a family show that is something positive.
There will be times of course, where
the kids are arguing, or we’re arguing. It’s real life, so I’m sure there’s
plenty of entertainment, but just not
on a level where families can’t watch
it together.
Urban Grandstand Digital: That’s
good. You obviously have a few
shows like that and are more positive, but there’s a lot of room for
more. There’s a lot of people who really want to see it. People will look
forward to that.
Patrice Curry: I’m excited about it.
I haven’t told the kids yet. You tell
them something, and they don’t stop
talking about it. I’m excited though,
and we’re ready to move forward.
Urban Grandstand Digital: I’m glad
you mention your other ventures, because you also do art. You have a lot

relieving stress? Do you see yourself
eventually selling them?

and maybe another 5 that I will sell
as well. I’m working on it. I like them
se much I don’t want to get rid of
them, but I will. I just have to move
forward with it.
can the world check you out online?
Aside from social media, is there a
website?
Patrice Curry: No. I need to work on
that. My cousin was yelling at me
the other day about it. I had one, but
nobody was checking for me. I felt
like it was a waste of time. I’m going
to work on it again. Right now, I’m
just on social media. Instagram and
Twitter are @thepatricecurry. I’m on
Facebook as Patrice Curry.
Urban Grandstand Digital: It shows
the amount of talent you have. People who have seen it really love it.
That’s why I questioned you selling
them. U can understand and appreciate you not wanting to get rid of
them because of how personal they
become.
Urban Grandstand Digital: Social
media has worked extremely well for
