Let’s start with this: Ms. Pat hasn’t lived the life of your typical comedian. Born to a single mother of 5, living on welfare in a tough West end neighborhood of Atlanta, Ms. Pat learned early on she would have to fend for herself in this world. Her Grandfather ran a “bootleg” house where as a kid Pat learned how to roll the drunks for food money. She had her first child at 14 and her second child at 15. “I knew I wasn’t going to college so I figured why not get an early start on my family.” She became a drug dealer in her teens known by the street name “Rabbit.”

“I figured there were two things I could do in my neighborhood to earn money, either sell drugs or sell p*@#$y.” At 16 she purchased her first Cadillac. During her teens she was shot twice and arrested numerous times. At 19 years of age she met a man, and with his help and encouragement decided to get out of the “life.” “I was so tired, I thought for sure I was going to end up dead. He was 21 and a military vet and he showed me a way out.”
