In XOXO, Cody: An Opinionated Homosexual’s Guide to Self-Love, Relationships, and Tactful Pettiness, Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby chronicles his journey from growing up gay and poor in small-town North Carolina to becoming a fitness icon in New York City in an empowering story that reveals his secret to success: not taking yourself—or life—too seriously.
Rigsby has a lot of opinions: Kevin is the hottest Backstreet Boy; grape jelly is a crime against nature; if you wear flip-flops in New York City, you do not love yourself. But if there is one opinion that he holds above all, it’s that we shouldn’t let the fear of looking stupid or being judged hold us back from living our best lives.
Rigsby didn’t always feel this way. In XOXO, Cody, he opens up about his journey toward accepting himself, details what it was like to lose his father and best friend to addiction, and shares how he repaired his relationship with his mom as an adult. With raw and inspiring stories about learning how to handle the scary sh*t, XOXO, Cody is a heartfelt reminder that sometimes laughing at yourself is the best medicine. Remember: It ain’t that deep, boo.
Rigsby will be in conversation with Andrew Chappelle, a queer, Black, and indigenous creator whose credits include the Emmy-nominated Starz! series “Blindspotting” and the original off-Broadway company of Hamilton.
