Patrice Gaines speaks nationally at colleges, conferences, prisons, churches, retreats, and special events, delivering speeches that earn her standing ovations. In her own words, she encourages people to change their lives, to shift from blaming others to accepting responsibility—and she assists them in healing from old wounds. By recounting her own journey from drug abuse and bad relationships to a career as a writer and a motivational writer, she hopes to shorten for others what she calls “the path to the Divine.”

Patrice Gaines also delivers speeches on restorative justice, prison reform, the disproportionate minority incarceration rate in America and issues surrounding the incarceration of women. She leads interactive workshops on creative writing, forgiveness, and changing your life.
