Summary

Rhonesha Byng is an Emmy-winning journalist and the Founder and CEO of the award-winning website Her Agenda and the founder of the soon-to-be Hurston House, a work and community space centered on women of color. Before age 30, Rhonesha was named 50 Founders to Watch By ESSENCE Magazine, 28 Under 28 by NBCBLK, and one of 29 People to Know by BET. In this episode, you will learn Rhonesha's motivating story of true grit and ambition. She will share her secrets to getting in "the room" even when the doors were closed, why you can't be what you can't see, and how important it is to tell your story over and over again. One of Rhonesha's mantras is "No One Slows Her Agenda." Rhonesha believes that you don't get what you deserve, you get what you ask for, but it's essential to lift others while you climb.
