Rod Lathim was the founder and artistic director of the revolutionary inclusive Access Theater.

Episode 1: Riva and Jana Brody

Jana: Working with my daughter on this inspiring podcast has been a gift to me in these crazy Covid times. Each interview lights me up. I realized how and why I want to empower others to find their voice through art expression when I spoke out and used my words for advocacy and change. You too can find inner strength and transformation through expressing yourself creatively and breaking the routine of work and life. Life is jammin' grab a brush!
