8 Decades of Fabulous - Pat Bowie from "And Just Like That"

I am blessed to have an example of what it means to age with strength, grace, and evolution. Pat Bowie, otherwise known as Mom, has been singing and acting professionally since the mid-1960s. She recorded 2 records with Prestige Records "Out Of Sight!" and "Feelin Good!" Featuring Charles Mcpherson, Kenny Burrell, Tommy Flanagan, and Ray Bryant. She has won several awards and was the first Black Mrs. Cratchit in a professional production of A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. She was asked to test to be the first Black centerfold for Playboy but didn't do it. Most recently she played Eunice in "And Just Like That" and she's back for the second season. Check out this article from Vogue, yes Vogue. During our conversation, we talked about aging, sex, vibrators, menopause, and of course her professional career as well. Also, you'll hear the thoughts of my eldest daughter as she shifts from adolescence to emerging adulthood. There's also a lot of talk about my father, George Badonsky, who was a powerhouse in his own right. A man who loved my mother to the very end, and my mother called him her one true love. Thank you, especially, to my husband, who believes that people's stories hold great power. RC, without you, I can't say for sure whether I would have recorded this. I hope you take time to talk to the elders in your family, even those that you struggle with and learn who they are. A word about this episode, I am a one-person show and learning how to navigate this format, needless to say, it probably would have benefited from a producer. You can help by following, liking, sharing and rating AGELUST on Apple Podcast, and Spotify, and then maybe we can dig a hole large enough for me to get a producer. Keep coming back because we have more guests!!!!  Remember to "choose wisely", or at least as wisely as you can at this moment. You can always make another choice.
