Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Patricia Goins. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Patricia, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The making and completion of my film project This Can’t Be Love, is one of my greatest accomplishments. It took me 7 years to film it and a total of 10 years to finally release it to the public. In 2003, I prayed and asked God to help me to write my first novel and to help me turn that novel into a movie. With no traditional investors, limited skills, and a dream, I set forth to turn my dream into a reality. The actors stayed committed the entire 7 years. It was an emotional journey filled with faith, perseverance, courage, and sacrifice. Today that film has over 100,000 views on Youtube.
Patricia, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Music is my first love. I have loved music since childhood. Originally my only goals were to become a singer and a published author. But once I created the music and wrote the books, I realized there were no real outlets in 2006 for indie artists and self published authors to truly promote their creative works. So I created my first business “Around The World Media Inc, and became a radio host in Chicago,Illinois on 102.3 FM and later in Atlanta, Georgia on 1100AM. During this time, I created a Facebook group called the Atlanta Muzic Industry. My goal was to market and promote my music, books, and movies as well as the creative works of others. Before I knew it, I had over 32,000 members. In 2021 I hosted my first indie artist event called Hookup Atlanta. In 2022 I released my first album titled “The Journey” which consists of the music that I created during that 20 year span. I am proud of the journey and how I refused to quit even when things got tough. The entertainment industry can be a difficult business to navigate through, but I have developed tough skin over the years and have enjoyed the ride. I truly enjoy discovering new music, new talent, and presenting them to the world through my platforms.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist and creator is the feedback I receive when fans tells me that my story, music, books, or movies has touched them in a special way or changed their lives in some way.
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?
In 2021 I created what I call the “Indie Revolution”. For far too long, creators have been cheated out of our piece of the pie. We are not fairly compensated for our work and mainstream has done a lot to try to keep us down. So as part of the Indie Revolution mission, creators are taking back control by staying independent and asking consumers to purchase our music, books, and films instead of just streaming them.
