The Mother Mind of Jodie Patterson

Jodie Patterson is proof of how full a life can be. In her fifty-three expansive years, she’s mothered five children, been an acrobat in the Big Apple Circus, directed public relations for a major fashion brand, got married twice, owned a beauty business, wrote a memoir, and the list can quite literally go on and on. She’s always creating and forever ideating, but when we finally connect, she’s in both a mellow zone because of the incessant rain New York City is getting and concerned about the state of the world in this current moment.
