Summary

Please join Samantha and Denise in welcoming Mike De La Rocha: visionary strategist, acclaimed musician, influential changemaker, and author. Mike has played a pivotal role in some of the most significant policy victories and cultural movements in United States history. Recognized as one of GOOD Magazine’s 100 people changing the world, Mike is also a recipient of the AFL-CIO’s Justice, Peace &Freedom Award, and a Shorty Social Good Award for Social Justice.

His company Revolve Impact, is a movement-driven creative agency that shifts narratives and amplifies social justice movements, driving systemic change through strategic campaigns, innovative storytelling, and community engagement. His Living Rooms Across America tour, emphasizing the importance of personal stories in creating connections and understanding among diverse groups, has helped to foster healing, acceptance and understanding with grassroots impact.

In his first book, Sacred Lessons: Teaching My Father How to Love, Mike explores how inherited definitions of manhood profoundly impacted his ability to connect with his father, his family, and ultimately himself. It delves into the struggle men face in connecting with themselves and others, offering tools for personal growth and ways to build meaningful and authentic relationships in their lives.
