We had the good fortune of connecting with Regina Harris and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Regina, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
As an entrepenuer, there are many times that I have felt like it was time to pack it up and stop. There are always ups and down in business. If you are passionate about what you are doing I recommend pushing until you are heard. As a person with a strong spiritual connection and I understand that GOD leads my life so when I feel discouraged, I pray, let it go, and wait on the Holy Spirit to move me.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Prideful Patchez is an online patch boutique that offers afrocentric patches, pins, stickers, and other accessories. The business was started as a pivot after the pandemic. We specialize in conscious minded patches that reflect current events and culture. Our goal is to provide a product that assist in building ones self esteem and pride. Although there are many patch companies, not many focus on the African American community and thats what sets Prideful Patchez apart from others.  We take pride in bringing novelty items that are culturally designed to proclaim ones pride.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to dedicate my shout out to my mother Irma Harris. She has been my biggest cheerleader and has always been there to encourage and support me. She is my rock and I could not have done it without her!
