Rhonda Williams is a popular transgender and gender-nonconforming blogger and board member of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council.

She grew up with an innate understanding that she did not fit into any gender binary, and instead enjoyed flowing between the various was of expressing gender. Rhonda’s blog, “Rhonda’s Escape,” focuses on fashion, style, travel news, and accepting being transgender and living a full life. Rhonda is inspired to write her blog to challenge the binary standard of the fashion industry as it applied masculine and feminine binaries to clothing. The blog has over three million views.

Rhonda also participated in Compass Community Center’s “The Legacy Project,” which pairs older, more experienced members of the LGBTQ community with youth in order to share their stories and learn from one another.
