Ms. Pat opens up about her remarkable journey from humble beginnings in Atlanta to becoming a force in the entertainment industry. She reflects on the tough lessons learned growing up in a bootleg house, becoming a teenage mom, and how she transformed her life despite the odds.

Ms. Pat shares an unforgettable moment with Shannon, recalling the advice he gave her on a plane about matching her Gucci backpack and Louis Vuitton purse, which sparked a lasting bond between the two. She also discusses the emotional responsibility of raising her sister’s children while juggling her own, the challenges of growing up with an abusive mother, and the painful yet transformative process of forgiveness, including caring for her estranged father in his final years.

Through laughter, tears, and her signature raw humor, Ms. Pat explores the power of comedy as therapy and how it helped her heal from trauma. She calls Katt Williams one of the most caring comedians and shares that Katt paid for her dad’s funeral. Ms. Pat also dives deep into her personal life, including the pride she feels in building a legacy for her children and the lessons she's learned about love, resilience, and self-worth. With her down-to-earth attitude and refusal to embrace the “celebrity” label, Ms. Pat’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and finding humor in even the darkest moments.
