A frequent analyst and sought after speaker on law, public policy, and leadership, Attorney Patterson regularly serves as a legal authority and keynote speaker advocating for equitable policies and diversity in government and business leadership. Appearances include The PuLSE Institute’s Global Women’s History Month program with keynote by UN Under-Secretary General, Dr. Natalia Kanem, as well as the Michigan Medicaid and Medicare Planning Update, where she presented before a national audience of lawyers and accountants on Financial Planning for the Elderly and Disabled.

Patterson, a noted advocate for social equity, is also the author of an upcoming book on Race and the Law, and regularly contributes columns published by The PuLSE Institute, a national anti-poverty think tank in which she serves as President and Director of Research, where her writings challenge the perceptive failures of government and corporate leadership to combat debilitating quality of life issues such as poverty and racial inequality.
