Rodney Hicks: Guided By Gratitude

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


Lisa and Broadway veteran Rodney Hicks go deep into the journey
toward knowing ourselves and how going off of social media has
freed him.

“I had to make a choice as a human being. How do I want to
walk in this world as an artist, a human being? And do I want to
call out or do I want to call in? And as a black, gay, queer,
gender non-conforming man, that was a lot.” Rodney
Hicks
