BLESSINGS ON BLESSINGS
DALLAS — Dr. Rhonda M. Wood described 2023 as a year of “increase and expansion.”
Much to her delight, this year seems to be much of the same.
Because of her immeasurable influential impact as an accomplished businesswoman and philanthropist, Dr. Wood will be named Making Headline News Woman of The Year for 2024, as announced this week by the Dallas/Fort Worth-based media outlet, joining fellow businessowomen Dr. Marcea B. Whitaker and Dr. Erica Perry Green, as recipients for MHN’s most covenant annual honor.
An official announcement of her honor will be made the final week of December.
A well-respected Washington, DC mental health advocate in her own right, Dr. Wood will become only the fourth woman since MHN’s December 2016 inception to be named both Woman of The Year and MHN International Women’s Day Woman of The Year (announced annually in March), joining Virginia Beach, Virginia-based certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist Deborah Juniper-Frye, Mitchellville, Maryland-based businesswoman Dr. Jennifer Bryant, and Dr. Whitaker to accomplish such feats.
A recipient for President Joseph R. Biden 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award, Dr. Wood subsequently was named Making Headline News’ International Women’s Day Woman of the Year for 2023.
To her credit, Dr. Wood has garnered high praise for her well-publicized global contributions in a professional tenure that spans some 30-plus years, particularly as an esteemed empowerment extraordinaire.
Recognized as a well-known fixture in her community, Dr. Wood has been afforded the golden opportunity to work alongside decision-makers on improving the mental health system. She works tirelessly to raise mental health awareness and is an active member, volunteer, presenter, and board member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Prince George’s County.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Wood’s works have been featured on prominent media platforms such as ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, talk shows, radio, podcasts, newspapers, and magazines, among other media outlets.
