Going back further, the 56 actress was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
While she keeps a tight lid on her birth year, she celebrates her birthday on January 31.
Education was always very important in our household.
We eventually settled in Atlanta, Georgia, which is where I attended college.
I got my bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University and my MFA from NYU’s graduate acting department.
I didnt think I needed a degree to be an actor…
But, looking back, I wouldnt be where I am today had I not pursued my degree."
Since I first decided to become an actor.
I think its because shes one of the younger of his women.
Being a young teenager, it was easy for me to relate to her experience.
I felt very close to this character for years.
I just felt like I had to just take a stab at be a part of this.
It would just be an honor even to get close.
I feel very blessed to be able to play this part and bring it to life on Broadway.
I dont want to give it away, but its that moment.
The whole play is beautiful.
You don’t really know whats coming.
That is most profound to me.
The show was actually filmed in the middle of the pandemic while Patterson herself was pregnant.
The film follows Colman Domingo’s Bayard Rustin, who orchestrated the 1963 March on Washington.
Stepping in the shoes of Coretta Scott King for a brief moment was truly an honor.
The scope of her life, her journey with Martin & all she accomplished after his death… Go see it yall."
The life of an artist is not easy.
But seeing artists who hustled get their flowers is truly a beautiful sight.
