Have you tried plugging it in to the MacBook's Thunderbolt 3 port and seeing if it comes up then? Like Phil0124 stated, it could be a port issue.

No, I don’t have another monitor connected to it. Second monitor meaning in addition to laptop.
What hub make / model adapter are you using exactly?
What port on the hub are you plugging the display into?

Thank you! That was the issue.
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
Second monitor will not display
