More information

Born to a drug-addicted mother and an absent father, Roderick Borisade struggled hard in life during his preteen years. After losing his older brother to cancer in 1996, he named himself “Odd?Rod”. He went against the odds and pushed himself through high school to earn a full college scholarship to UNF and then the University of Alabama. Since 2011, he’s toured over 350 colleges and earned many awards, but most importantly, he’s inspired a nation of people to push through every obstacle placed before them and live their life as leaders.
