Hi, I'm Trica Patrice! Owner, Founder and Director of First Impressions at Matcha Mantra Mondays!

I am a Charlotte Native who is passionate about creating healthy engaging experiences and impactful environments. As a child who was raised in foster care, I was able to connect with many other children with different backgrounds, races and ethnicities than mine. This molded me into having a great sense of empathy and being able to connect with all walks of life!  It is no secret that 2020 changed all of our lives forever and created many uncomfortable situations where everyone in the world was affected in one way or another. This opened my eyes to the importance of living life to the fullest and doing what makes you wholeheartedly complete.

In 2021 I began an online series to share positive affirmations and mantras on social media to kickstart the week. Along the way I would treat myself to a matcha latte in an effort to turn my "Sunday Scaries" into "Magical Mondays." Fast forward to 3 years later, in January 2024 I decided to take a very big leap of faith and turn that little online series into an in-person passion!

My mission is to be able to fill people's cups both physically and figuratively speaking. To remind them that each day feels like a new beginning and that you have the opportunity to start something new!

​

Cheers,

Trica Patrice Johnson
