Emotional intelligence is the courage to see people and lead with kindness. In this episode of Like‑Minded with Dr. Patrice, Lynn Jones‑Turpin, Associate Editor of the Jacksonville Free Press, joins Dr. Patrice to explore what it means to be embraced as “America’s favorite aunty,” how emotional intelligence guides her presence, and how she continues the living legacy of the Black Press.

From defining kindness as an active, discerning practice to uplifting communities through grounded care, Lynn reflects on the viral exchange with Jaguars head coach Liam Coen that sparked national debate — and why the reaction reveals more about who we are than what she said. Together, we unpack what professionalism, humanity, and care can look like in public spaces — and what it asks of all of us.
