With a talent for taking high-level ideas and distilling them into digestible messages, Patrice is a listen-first, speak-with-purpose, collaborate-always communicator who understands the power of storytelling to inspire change. Her work in the movement to end gender-based violence began 12 years ago as a full-spectrum doula and reproductive justice activist, where she supported individuals navigating transformative and often vulnerable moments. Those experiences coupled with a Bachelor of Arts in Religion, Women’s Studies, and Social Justice inform her approach to crafting narratives that connect people and drive societal transformation. Patrice joined Praxis in 2018 as Office Manager and transitioned into her current role as Communications Manager in 2022, leading Praxis’s internal and external communications strategy. She views communications as a tool for community building and amplifying transformative ideas. Her work advances Praxis’s mission and vision, ensuring that the organization’s message reaches and resonates with changemakers across the country.
