TESTIMONIALS……
Ms. Rhonda is someone who has made one of the biggest impacts in my life. I remember being a young girl without true guidance, simply rolling through life with whatever came my way. Working under her years ago at the YWCA changed everything—she helped shape and mold me into the person I am today.
She took me under her wing, always correcting me with love and guiding me toward my true calling. Her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support have been nothing short of inspiring. I truly thank God for connecting us. Watching her lead and speak at empowering events always makes a great impact in my life, along with others. The world needs more people like her, and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things she continues to do! - Chamond Brooks
“The Good Morning Gorgeous” Retreat was an empowering conference. Rhonda was transparent, supportive and encouraging, which made me feel comfortable with sharing vulnerable past experiences. The retreat allowed me the opportunity to assess myself and implement changes that improved my communication, coping skills, and self-care.” - E. Lovette
Rhonda Foster is a true force in our community—her leadership, vision, and intentionality set her apart in every way. She doesn’t just speak; she captivates, inspires, and empowers those around her with a confidence that is nothing short of remarkable. Every time I hear her, I walk away feeling motivated and uplifted. I’ve had the privilege of assisting at a few of her events, and what stands out the most is her ability to bring people together with purpose and passion. She leads with heart, always ensuring that her work creates a meaningful and lasting impact. In my opinion, Rhonda Foster doesn’t just deserve recognition—she deserves a standing ovation every single time. - —D. Doakes-Johnson
Having that experience and privilege of hearing and seeing Rhonda Foster use her life struggles as an instrument of change for others has been a wonderful privilege. Her ability to be relational to all through her spirit of humility and transparency is truly one of her greatest gifts that will continue to impact current and future generations. -Dr. Pamela Ogletree, LPC-S
The Good Morning Gorgeous Event impacted me in so many ways! Rhonda's speech about her childhood made me acknowledge my childhood pain that I had hidden for so many years! It helped me see this pain was hindering me in my adult life. After reading Rhonda’s book, I started counseling to address my childhood trauma. She was so vulnerable in sharing her past and even shared about her going to counseling. It helped me see I needed help! At the “Good Morning Gorgeous Event,” there was such a focus on mental and physical health. I’ve been a person to focus on my family and friends while neglecting my own mental and physical health. I suffered from low self-esteem my entire life. That “Catwalk” was “everything!” Every time I look at the picture it makes me see the beautiful me that God created to show His light to the world! I loved everything about the conference and really hope Rhonda will host another one. I met and connected with some amazing, beautiful inside & outside and talented women. I just hated when the conference ended! I’m a better version of myself for attending! - Beverly Dowdy
The release of your book signing! The message and the reading of the book gave me a different outlook on how to understand my parents. It changed some of my thoughts and past hurt from/for them. - Demetria Jackson
