Biscuit Blitz: 5 Minutes with Patrice Gaines

The COVID-19 outbreak hasn’t been an easy time, but Patrice Gaines has put her passion for meditation and for writing to work, to calm her mind and remain productive. Patrice is an author, a teacher, a community advocate and a former Washington Post reporter who calls Charlotte home … for the second time. She swore she’d never come back, but is now well at home in the Queen City.

Patrice spoke at the second gathering of CreativeMornings/Charlotte in the fall of 2015. On Friday, June 5, CM/CLT meets for the 56th consecutive month. To commemorate that, Patrice spoke with Matt Olin about her love of the written word and the strangeness of time at this … well … time.
