Act 2 opens with Rodney Agnant sharing the gift of having older siblings who went to bat for him, marking the beginning of the end of “the game” he brought us into in Act 1. He points to compassion, language, artmaking and the way they all weave into tapestries of identity – with a big bucket and moment of clarity from Jay-Z.
Rodney invites us to ask incredibly important questions about human beings, compassion, potential, and greatness. He also draws important distinctions between the impossible and the improbable, challenging us to not conflate the two, and to stay present to the latter.
Our conversation closes with Rodney sharing his good work at Colgate University – and an invitation to each of us to be agents of positive change.
