His post-Virginia Tech aspiration is to teach in schools around Virginia or to delve into politics. His personal dream is to become a household name across the United States by teaching true Black History in the United State while simultaneously not allowing people to co-op that history to suit their own personal goals His career dream is to become a voice for Black America and to represent them in congress so that we can get agendas passed that will specifically help the black community.
