Who Is Rodney Wrice

Born on August 8, 1966, amidst the vibrant streets of St. Louis, MO, Rodney's journey bears the indelible mark of his unique upbringing. His early years were anchored by the unwavering love of his mother, Gloria Wrice, daughter of the resilient Cora Jones. A solitary child, Rodney's world took a pivotal turn in 1970, as Gloria steered their path, pulling him away from the countless aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother he had back in St. Louis, towards San Francisco's embracing embrace. It was within the enclave of the Western Addition, affectionately known as the Fillmore, that Rodney's life truly began.

The absence of a paternal figure left an echoing void in Rodney's life, a void he sought to fill through the unsteady steps of youth. The streets, unforgiving and untamed, beckoned with the allure of acceptance, intertwining his fate with the criminal underbelly. By the tender age of ten, he found himself navigating the intricate alleys of the Fillmore, hungering for belonging in a world marked by lawlessness.

However, the trajectory shifted inexorably as adulthood loomed large. A harsh twist of fate condemned Rodney to a 40-year-to-life prison sentence, a period that would span 33 arduous years. Within the unforgiving confines of prisons like Pelican Bay,                    Corcoran, San Quentin, Folsom, and Vacaville, the crucible of transformation awaited. With unyielding determination, Rodney reshaped his narrative. The cocoon of confinement birthed a writer, an activist, a beacon of change. The darkness could not stifle the burgeoning light within him.

Emerging from the crucible, Rodney stood as a phoenix of resilience. Today, he stands as a testament to the power of redemption. No longer confined by his past, he wields the pen as a tool for liberation, weaving prose that traverses hearts and minds. His activism reverberates with a fervor born of personal experience, a fervor aimed at dismantling the very systems that once ensnared him.

Rodney is engaged to Maria Morales, who is his total reflection, and he loves her unconditionally, sacrificing nothing to lose her embrace, who in her own right is equally talented in her skills as a writer, and champion for social reform. Her dedication to bringing awareness to the foster care system, addressing and publicly speaking out on issues regarding our youth, homelessness, and life readiness puts her among the top in her field so there's no surprise why she will soon be Mrs. Wrice. 

Rodney is a director of a multimillion-dollar organization that strives to change the narrative for those who were once long-term offenders, addressing society's conditions of homelessness, addiction, mental illness, and recidivism. Rodney enjoys writing, his first two books ‘Overcoming Gangs and Poverty’ and “Pathway to Renewal - a Guide to Thriving after Incarceration' are must-reads that everyone is now talking about {both books are available on Amazon}, Rodney outside of writing enjoys spending time with his family and friends, and helping those in need by going out weekly with his fiance Maria to feed, cloth and provide essentials to those who are homeless in San Francisco. He is an impactful public speaker driven by the idea that we all deserve to be treated equally and with human respect for the good of all humanity, his online magazine Changing Lives Forever found at changinglivesforever@substack.com and is great if you are interested in date information on reentry, addiction, homelessness and foster care.  

Rodney's journey is an anthem of triumph over adversity, a melody of rebirth conducted in the face of despair. From the depths of his struggles, he has emerged as a cornerstone of societal progress, tirelessly laboring to forge a world where others need not tread the treacherous path he once knew. Through his words and deeds, Rodney inscribed upon the annals of time a story of evolution, a testament to the undying human spirit.
