| Introduction | In 2013, the popularity of her blog at Skirt.com was the catalyst for Patrice to launch pworthy.com, a publication dedicated to Blacks in the high arts. P.worthy.com was the first publication to cover the Atlanta Ballet’s lack of Black dancers, and pworthy.com broke the story when the first Black ballerina joined the company. She interviewed actor Donald Glover, Broadway playwright George C. Wolfe, rapper and actor Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, rapper Big Boi - half of the duo Outkast, architect Phil Freelon, conductor Michael Morgan, artist Hebru Brantley, artist Kevin Cole, artist Fahamu Pecou, artist Amy Sherald, Founder of Black Tech Week and CEO of Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition Felecia Hatcher, and many more. Patrice was named a 2015 Arts Leader of Metro Atlanta by the Atlanta Regional Commission. She was then asked to moderate a panel on the arts for Real Housewife of Atlanta Courtney Rhodes’ Dream Big Conference. Following the success of the Dream Big panel Patrice was invited to compose a blog for Americans for The Arts Blog Salon where she explored the possibilities of a creative relationship between the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Atlanta’s thriving rap scene. |
