Patricia Ann Collier Roberson

SELF-PORTRAIT

Date and place of birth: June 6, 1957, Searcy.

My most precious childhood memory: Being barefoot and the way the grass felt cool, and catching lightning bugs with my brothers and sister.

Something I rarely leave home without: My glasses.

The best advice I’ve ever gotten was: Change is good, you go first. Before I step onto a stage or through a door, I’m scared but that fear motivates me.

A book I’ve listened to recently and liked is: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.

One of my all-time favorite movies: Peggy Sue Got Married.

If I could change one thing: I would have gotten in stronger and harder in the market much sooner. And I would have probably lived in New York for a while because I love the energy of New York.

My favorite place on earth: My big sofa-size swing out back, with a glass of wine. I tell my kids it’s my therapy couch.

A piece of jewelry every woman should own: Diamond studs.

To relax I: Take a long bath or get a facial.

I wish I could: Go to Australia someday. I love to travel.

If I could not be in the jewelry business: I think I would be some kind of coach or mentor. I love people, and it’s so fulfilling to me to encourage people.

One word to sum me up: Energizer.
