Rhonda Crowder is no stranger to struggle.
Throughout her life she has seen plenty of heartbreak, pain, and
let down. But despite all the things she has gone through, Rhonda
has managed to blossom and build herself up into a thriving
entrepreneur and businesswoman. She has done this with the help of
God, her family, and the encouragement of her children.
Rhonda is a 2004 graduate of North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University. She has a bachelor’s
degree in Journalism and Mass Communication, with a concentration
in Public Relations. Presently residing in Monroe, NC,
the mother of two says her children are the biggest reason why she
felt the need to push herself to be the woman that she is
today.
She shares, “My children are my why.
They’ve seen me broken, they’ve seen me in tears, and they’ve seen
me in pain. There was once a moment in time where all I knew to do
was cry, and my children were a witness to that. There was a time
when I laid on my face and cried because I didn’t know what to say
because I was so broken. I only knew the Lord’s Prayer, so I said
that. My son was three and a half at the time, and he would lay
beside me and kiss me."
As challenging as it was for Rhonda, she knew she
had to preserve and endure. Though there were moments when she
didn’t have the words to say, more less answers, she shares it was
her faith that pulled her along and provided her with the strength
to stand.
It was from her brokenness that Rhonda found a new
outlook and meaning to her life. That’s where Broken To Life
Ministries began. Through brokenness God has allowed her to
see herself, see connections, and what needed to be connected and
what didn't.
Broken To Life Ministries has produced some great
things for Rhonda. She has authored and published a book, Broken To
Life, which she details her trials and triumphs through 14 chapters
beginning with the onset of brokenness, and concluding with her
being set free. She also serves as a motivational speaker,
evangelist, and is a trusted ear to many.
More than anything, Rhonda hopes that through her
life and experiences, others will find hope and push through their
own set of challenges. She also encourages aspiring entrepreneurs
to follow their calling if they genuinely want to be successful in
life.
Currently Rhonda has started an educational
consulting business, as well as a performing arts center called
Power Moves Performing Arts Academy. Though currently not housed in
a brick-and-mortar location, there are plans to do so. Through
Power Moves Performing Arts Academy, Rhonda would like for kids to
be able to come and learn about theater, and learn how to get to
the next level, including college all while reaching for the
stars.
Moving forward, Rhonda plans to share her ministry
and programs with anyone who would like to be a part. In addition
to many obligations and duties she already has, Rhonda is also a
singer. She has been featured in major publications and on
platforms such as iHeartRadio.
