Rhodes is a multifaceted and accomplished professional with a wealth of experience in the media and marketing industries. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1976, she spent most of her childhood in Shulerville, South Carolina, where she grew up with her siblings Nathaniel Byron, Alicia and Ryan Rhodes. Her father's death in 2006 had a profound impact on her life. Despite this tragedy, she persevered and went on to pursue her career with determination and ambition.
As a child, she participated in beauty pageants and modeling, at the ages of five and 10. Her mother hoped to balance out her tomboy nature with these activities, and she excelled, winning over 20 pageants and scoring several modeling gigs. After graduating from high school, she attended Morgan State University from 1993-1998, where she was a member of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA).

While working at iHeartMedia, she was promoted to Sales Manager in Tampa, Florida, where she managed the day-to-day operations of the sales arm of an urban radio station and its online assets. In 2007, she took on the role of General Sales Manager for two country music radio stations and their online assets in Atlanta, Georgia. Her impressive track record in sales and management helped her get the account executive's position at Meredith Corporation, where she managed and developed an advertising agency, digital advertising and new business clients for WGCL-46/CBS Atlanta.
Rhodes' passion for brand marketing led her to join Coca-Cola Enterprises as a brand ambassador, driving social awareness for the 2015 Coca-Cola Pay It Forward Program. In 2015, she returned to the media industry as a Senior Brand Consultant at iHeartMedia in the Greater Chicago Area. In October 2017, with her extensive experience in marketing and advertising, she co-founded Urbanity Communications, which was later renamed C&D | The Agency.
