La Rhonda cannot remember a time when she hasn’t loved stories. Her early
audiences were her mother and younger sister. At the urging of friend and mentor,
Blanche Richardson, La Rhonda attended Tina McElroy Ansa’s first Sea Island Writer’s
Retreat on Sapelo Island in 2004. It was there that she began to “see” herself as a
writer.
She is a contributor to the award-winning Life Spices From Seasoned Sistahs anthology
series and has also published work in “Go, Tell Michelle: African American Women
Write To The New First Lady”, “Sassy, Savvy and Bold After 50”, “The Beauty of
Darkness” (poetry) and an ebook, serial novel, “Jubilee’s Journey.” La Rhonda’s short
story “Perfect Fit” is a favorite in “Where’s My Tiara?” an anthology of short fiction by
women. La Rhonda is honored to also be a part of the anthology “All The Women In My
Family Sing” edited by Deborah Santana.
A native of Oakland, California she now lives in San Leandro with her husband and
biggest fan, Ernest Johnson. “Unveiled” released in July 2019 is her first full-length
novel.
