Why are you called Pat’s Garden?

Let me tell you!

Many people knew my grandmother as Nana or Nana Pat because that’s the name I gave her, but she had so many nicknames.

What you may not know is Nana Pat is actually my great aunt and not my grandmother. My mother was raised by her father’s oldest sister (Nana Pat) and when I was born she came to the US from Jamaica to help raise me.

She was a school principal in Jamaica and was an important historical figure in the growth of St. Christopher’s School for the Deaf

When I went to preschool, she was a teacher’s assistant in my classroom.

When I became a teacher, she became my confidant and mentor as I went through college.

Her favorite artist was Bob Marley and she always signed cards saying One Love.

Fun fact: I have a tattoo of her handwriting on my wrist!

When I was a child, she would take care of the garden in front of our house. Hopefully, she’s up in the sky tending to a garden with beautiful flowers.

I’ll handle the flowers here 💐 by @__patsgarden

Tell me about your business in 30 seconds. 👀

One thing every business owner should be able to do is clearly communicate who you are, what you do, and why someone should care, without needing 10 minutes to explain it.

So let’s practice! Pitch your business in the comments in 30 seconds or less. Tell us what you do + who you serve.

AND don’t just drop your business and leave!! Read through the comments. If you see a founder whose product or service you need, connect with them. Follow them. Book them. Buy from them. Refer them. 🤝🏾

There is enough opportunity out here for all of us. Sometimes the person looking for exactly what you offer is already in the room, you just have to tell them what you do. 💐
