Rodney has very many gifts, talents, and passions but his most pursued gifts are in business and leadership.

A year later, Rodney was promoted to school President where he was able to host events such as schoolwide talent shows, bake sales, car washes, and so much more. That opportunity led him to be a part of a young African drum group called, the Nzuri Drummers. Along with being a performance member, Rodney was the group's manager.
