Meet Roderick Thomas

Meet Roderick. He'll be hitching a ride 60 miles each day to share his family's story through his weekly video lifecast. In this video you'll hear from Roderick and his family, and see how his participation in an Equal Voice for America's Families Town Hall meeting left him feeling empowered.



Look into my bloodshot eyes
A young Native wanna rise to surprise
As I pray every day lookin' to the sky
Hopin' to see a vision
Hard-headed me I can't listen...
- Excerpt from a piece by Roderick Thomas.

Roderick and his extended Navajo family of 12 will be Lifecasting from White Horse, New Mexico.

Visit New America Media to see a longer version of this video, and to read more about Roderick and his family.
