ONE SHINING MOMENT
In case you don’t know her, Dr. Rhonda M. Wood would like to introduce herself.
A native of Washington, DC, Dr. Wood has steadfastly garnered widespread global success, in large part because of her immeasurable body of work, particularly as a well-respected mental health advocate.
A devout woman of faith, Dr. Wood, by all accounts, could be suitably described as a woman of many hats, primarily because of a rash of achievements, most notably as an award-winning international speaker, multi-bestselling author, and a leading authoritative figure on mental health and wellness.
To her distinctly unique credit, it is due in large part to Dr. Wood’s valiant, well-publicized global contributions in a professional tenure that spans some 30-plus years that this beloved empowerment extraordinaire will be acknowledged on a national stage for her influential impact and dedicatory service to her chosen profession.
