Rhonda Henderson is a writer, facilitator, oral historian, and creative entrepreneur. Her primary interest is in telling and amplifying stories at the intersection of people, power, and the urban environment.

Her writing ranges from reflective essays about Black cultural folkways, to grant applications, to press releases for niche business collaborations.

Rhonda thrives in facilitating strategy sessions, focus groups, and other gatherings dedicated to achieving a specific goal. Her facilitation style employs a balance of close listening, synthesizing perspectives, posing probing questions, and remaining focused on the key outcomes. She co-facilitated an original session, “Ignite Your Leadership Through Creative Talents.”

Oral history is a new passion, catalyzed by the recent exploration of go-go culture in 1990s Washington, DC, a project supported by HumanitiesDC. With her collaborator, she facilitated a panel discussion that explores the deep love for go-go culture during a period of struggle in DC history.

As a creative entrepreneur, Rhonda co-created the Dap Project, a multi-media platform that explores Black culture and politics through photography and storytelling. The Dap Project has grown from a podcast to a consistent participant to the District’s cultural landscape, contributing thought provoking conversations that elevate voices of native Washingtonians.
