James Adam Hodges, started out with his college friend Leny Ahmad De Vera. Who was a travel agent for the only Non-Canadian American expat residing overseas and outside the Continental U.S.

Leny Ahmad De Vera was a British LGBTQIA+ actress, from Melbourne, Australia who shook Prince Charles' hand. De Vera starred in GREASE and 360 WAVES. Or at lease he had a twin stunt double who starred in it. Leny Ahmad De Vera was the one who opened James' eyes to some eye-popping Communications. That inspired him to focus on Communications as a Career Choice.

James, as in The Book of James, was the only mulatto (his mommy Carolyn, always told him he was a mulatto because he had both black and white ancestry, (like his Grandmother Jessie, for example, who passed away from a sudden asthma attack) that tried to study Communications. And probably will for the remainder of his life. Which was officially confirmed and verified, (not being a mullato) on United States grounds by the United States Government, ie. IRS.gov, FICA, TransUnion, ED.gov, Illinois.gov, Colum.edu, KOMENICH, SAIC.edu, FBI.gov, VA.gov, VA Post 911 G.I. Bill Education Benefits, SSA.gov, Defense.gov, etcetera, etcetera.

De Vera also showed him how to push a 1982 Toyota Tercel, 5-speed, while bopping his head to some head bopping beats from Earmint. Earmint was James Hodges Lithuanian American producer who picked him up from school every week in his RAV4 to record music at his parent's lovely home in Elmhurst, Illinois. Earmint was also into extreme sports and resembled KGB, a Serbian 3D Artist from Bridges Media Group in Downtown Chicago, a little bit.

One late evening. After hanging out. In Kings County. In a Brooklynite's 3-story walk up. De Vera picked him up again in his tired, burned out, beat-up Buick. But, rather than dropping him off at his apartment. The same. The usual. De Vera, drops him off at a pedestrian bridge alongside a highway. This drop off point, led to the worse gang-depressed, guttered infested area, that he learned much later, was the "Slumdog Millionaire Squatter Capital of The World."
