His future goals include someday self-publishing some fictional novels that reflect Africentric people in the mystery, drama and science-fiction genres. ROD is currently transitioning from CADD to filmmaker by pursuing a path as a cinematographer/filmmaker in order to bring to life what he calls "our stories" that need to be told.
