In this conversation, we sit down with Rodney Glasgow Jr., captain of the Sheffield Sharks and a man whose life refuses to be reduced to one headline.
From Brooklyn to Maryland, from the U.S. Army to British basketball, Rodney has carried the weight of multiple identities—Black man, athlete, father—each with its own expectations, stereotypes, and quiet responsibilities.
We talk faith, discipline, and what it means to lead on and off the court. We explore the double burden of being a Black public figure, the art of masking, and the quiet resistance of living fully in your own humanity.
This is more than a sports story. It’s a meditation on identity, dignity, and the courage to be more than the roles the world hands you.
