Inonda's public speaking career took off during her freshman year of college when her public speaking teacher, Kevin Booker, noticed her passion and enthusiasm for speaking. He invited her to speak at various events and schools in the Connecticut area.
Inonda, who has a true heart of gold dedicated to the empowerment of others, has spoken at notable places including UConn, where she discussed getting comfortable with being uncomfortable with top student leaders; the University of Hartford, where she spoke on the importance of education; and Mitchell College, where she addressed students on suicide prevention, among many other engagements.

Inonda was awarded Mitchell College’s $100,000 Trustees Scholars Scholarship. The first-known full merit scholarship given at Mitchell College, the award was made possible by the tremendous generosity of supporters who whole-heartedly believe in the mission of Mitchell College and its students.
The award recognizes extraordinary students who demonstrate exceptional academic credentials and whose commitment to community, service, and leadership exemplify the amplified impact Mitchell College students can make in the community.
In the summer of 2023, Inonda wrapped up the final edits of her book and prepared for publishing. However, she faced a major roadblock: she had $0 to her name, and the publishing cost was a whopping $1,500. Undeterred, Inonda didn't let this stop her. With the help of family friends Cozel and Esther, and her grandparents Lynette and John
In the summer of 2023, Inonda wrapped up the final edits of her book and prepared for publishing. However, she faced a major roadblock: she had $0 to her name, and the publishing cost was a whopping $1,500. Undeterred, Inonda didn't let this stop her. With the help of family friends Cozel and Esther, and her grandparents Lynette and John, she organized a fundraiser selling BBQ. She also reached out to Mayor Roy West of Beaumont, who featured her event on his podcast.
Through these efforts, she raised more than enough, exceeding $3,000. Inonda stated afterwards that she "wanted to uplift the community that uplifted her," so she created care packages filled with hygienic products and went to Beaumont, TX, helping those in need by gifting them essential items.
Your support will help me uplift and motivate others, proving that determination and perseverance can overcome any challenge.
