Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on: August 27, 2019. What up, homies! It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to another fire episode of Women of Impact, where we rise, we conquer, and we create waves that last lifetimes. Today, I’m beyond thrilled to introduce an absolute legend in her own right, our fabulous guest, Rhonda Ross!

Now, imagine for a moment growing up under the immense spotlight of music royalty. Yep, that’s where Rhonda's journey starts – daughter of the iconic Diana Ross and the genius behind Motown Records, Berry Gordy. You’d think expectations would shape her completely, but Rhonda's here to flip that script and show us how she not only knew that her path was hers alone to walk but learned to light the fire within herself, making her authentic voice boom!

From standing ovations at the Hollywood Bowl and Madison Square Garden to headlining for President Obama, Rhonda Ross isn't just stepping out of her famous parent’s shadows; she's creating her own light, speaking on racism, sexism, and self-love with power and grace. So, buckle up because Rhonda’s about to share some priceless gems on finding your true self amidst the noise.
