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
