Authors Rodrekous & Josh first met in college as roommates. They immediately became close friends, united by their similar childhood. Both Josh & Rodrekous grew up as low-income inner-city kids. However, they both used the power of their imagination to escape the reality of their environment. After meeting in college, they founded Coastal Carolina University's first-ever PEACE (Performers Emerging Above Circumstances to Excel) Club to help other students gain a platform to express themselves. The organization went on to win multiple awards, including the NAACP Organization On The Rise Award. Rodrekous currently serves as the President for PEACE Nation, LLC, an independent record label designed to help local artists gain exposure. Josh is a Teacher, Football Coach, and Athletic Director. He is also the owner of Rock Hill Video Company in Rock Hill South Carolina.
