Patience Rage

 

 

Patience was born in Philadelphia at PGH (and you gotta be a Philadelphian to even have a clue what or where this could be). She is the oldest daughter of 10 children and was raised predominately in the Strawberry Mansion section of North Philadelphia. She is a writer and storyteller who works mentoring youth in her neighborhood. Patience was awarded a Leeway Art and Change Grant in October 2005 for a project working with a group of women in North Philadelphia to help them tell their stories of surviving incest.
