Rhonda M. Roorda is an award-winning author, speaker, executive coach, and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of identity, communication, leadership, adoption, and belonging. A Black transracial adoptee, Rhonda has spent decades exploring the complexities of identity, family, race, and belonging. Her scholarship, advocacy, and writing have helped shape conversations about transracial adoption and the experiences of adoptees and families. But her story extends well beyond her work as an author. With a Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications–Strategic Communication from Calvin University and a Master of Arts in Communication–Urban Studies from Michigan State University, Rhonda brings more than three decades of professional leadership experience to her work. For 30 years, she has worked in workers' compensation fund administration—first as Deputy Fund Administrator and, for the past 14 years, as Fund Administrator. She has also served Calvin University through its Alumni Board and Board of Trustees, including service as Board Secretary and an Executive Member of the Board. Today, Rhonda brings these experiences together to help people and organizations navigate complex conversations, leadership challenges, transitions, identity, and change.
