Jodie Patterson is an author, activist, beauty explorer and mother of 5. She holds the position of Chair of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation Board, our nation’s largest LGBT organization. As a globally recognized activist, she speaks on topics of radical parenting, identity, and gender.

We get into her journey in life, career, and family talking about this and so much more:

the message of “walking in like you own the place” she got from her father and what that really looked like and meant
as individuals we get to determine who we are
following what was interesting to her and how that shaped her professional life and several careers 
her then three year old identifying their own gender and her families journey in raising a transgender boy named Penelope
how much as a society we don’t know, see, or think about being transgender because of how media displays it  
what inspired her to write her memoir The Bold World and how her life journey supports how she has been able to support Penelope and her families journey
navigating being a voice for transgender while being the mother of 5 one of whom doesn’t believe that transgender exists, and one of whom is transgender
