Danielle Patrice is a mother and grandmother who is a faith-based poet, psalmist, playwright, songwriter, author, publisher, visionary, entrepreneur, and published model. A Creative, Danielle began writing in her teens. Reading teen fiction was the springboard to writing poetry and playlets. Subsequent her teen years, Danielle's first poem was published in 2009 by Devo'zine (www.devozine.com/electropoetry), an online Christian Magazine for teens by teens. As well, in 2011, Danielle was privileged to be a contributing writer for the Christian publication Shabbach Magazine (www.shabbachmagazine.com); while simultaneously publishing MASTERpieces, her first poetry series, in December of the same year. Since, Danielle has become a contributing writer and proofreader to Elegance In Focus Magazine.
In revisiting the penning of plays, Danielle expanded her writing to pen, direct, and produce her first stage play titled FAMILY FIRST, which debuted June 2014. However, this wasn't her first rodeo with stage plays. Having played the late "Dr. George Washington Carver" in an elementary school play, it was no surprise she would jump at the invitation to star as "Aunt Runa" and "Devilina," a dual leading role in the original 2001 cast ofHIM, produced and directed by 3J Productions. Hereinafter, Danielle joined the cast of REM in 2017 for its television pilot directed by Kingdom Bound Productions. Shortly after, she became an Extra in 2018 for the film Love and Communication directed by James J. Christy. As of late, Danielle held a principal and background role in the 2020 movie, The Order of Rights, directed by Stone Road Productions. Not letting up on her writing, she released her fourth publication The RIB: Access to Intimacy, Rated R in 2022, which is the counterpart to The RIB: Covenant Principles for Singles & the Married released in 2017.
After placing in several categories of her AMTC (Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ) audition, Danielle left the 2016 Winter Convention a People's Choice Award recipient, and a recipient of new hope and fervor for her passions. In 2018, Danielle was given the chance to fulfill a long time dream to model. She walked for the “Drunk Off Fashion” Runway Fashion Show presented by Collective Vibe. This opened other great doors of opportunities to model for events such as: AllStar Entertainment’s 1st Annual Fashion Art Music (F.A.M.) Show, Phenomenal Hair Salon’s “The Takeover Hair Show,” J-Bri Designs "I'm Every Woman Fashion Show & Luncheon," J.Pratt Boutique's Pink and Black Fashion Show, and New Day Associates & Size Overrated Magazine Fashion Show & Artist Showcase. Such events has helped Danielle to hone in on her etiquette and skills. Despite the pandemic pause, there are still honorable mentions and memories. Danielle competed in the 4th Annual Diamond Fashion Week and was crowned 2019 Ms. Diamond Fashion Week (Adult Division) -- a title she is still proud of to this day. She has worked tirelessly to build her repertoire and master the grace of modeling. Danielle is not only a published author, but is also now a published model. Her assistance in this sphere has come through some amazing people. Those she's met, networked with, walked or posed for, and learned through -- from modeling peers, designers, photographers, magazines, MUA’s, promoters to Brand Consultants, they each have had a hand in her modeling success.
Danielle states "I certainly haven’t arrived, but I am on my way somewhere! Wherever I soar to from here, I know I will not have gotten there on my own.” In all she does, Danielle's spiritual life is first and foremost. She adds, "I am in love with God, am best friends with Jesus, and hang with the Holy Spirit. I delight myself in Him, and I love people."
