The Bold World: A Memoir of Family and Transformation

Beauty entrepreneur and mother of five Jodie Patterson is surprised when her toddler, Penelope, tells her, “Mama, I’m not a girl. I am a boy.” Patterson, part of “a tribe of unapologetic Black matriarchs, scholars, financiers, Southern activists, artists, musicians, and disruptors,” must reshape her own beliefs and learn from her children as she attempts to meet her son’s needs, broaden the horizons of those around her, and challenge cultural norms and gender expectations.  Patterson is chair of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and was appointed by the United Nations as a Champion of Change.
