I am very excited to have this conversation with April Stallworth and Beverly Robinson! Thank you ladies for seeing me and giving me this opportunity to share my story! Y’all get the app and join us this Thursday! @thegoodsoilmovement #Repost ⭐️ Ever felt like you’re walking a path no one else sees? Like your dreams don’t make sense to anyone—but you can’t shake them? In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be the first—the first in your family, your community, or your industry to pursue a vision that doesn’t have a blueprint.
This episode, featuring our multihyphenate special guest Rhonda Marie Alston, will be your powerful reminder that pioneering something new can feel isolating, confusing, and even impossible—but it’s often the very proof that you’re on to something great.
In conversation with hosts April and Beverly, they’ll explore what it looks like to follow your calling when there’s no roadmap, and how to keep going in spite of doubt and skepticism.
Rhonda Marie Alston is a Raleigh, North Carolina native whose artistic journey began at age three with ballet and tap at The Raleigh School of Dance Arts. Her passion for the arts led her to the North Carolina School of the Arts, where she majored in modern dance and theater.
A career shift came unexpectedly when, while working as a flight attendant, Rhonda landed the role of “Lucille” in the CBS mini-series Shake, Rattle and Roll. This experience launched her into the world of television and film. In 2003, she moved to Miami to expand her expertise behind the scenes as a casting assistant for Ethnicity Model Management.
By 2005, Rhonda had earned her SAG membership and relocated to Los Angeles, contributing both on-screen and behind the camera to major network productions. Her credits include Private Practice, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, Grey’s Anatomy, and Everybody Hates Chris. She also played a key production role on the acclaimed OWN series Queen Sugar, supporting the show across all seven seasons.
Rhonda’s impact extends beyond entertainment. A dedicated philanthropist, she has supported organizations such as Dwight Howard’s D12 Foundation, Josh Powell’s 21 Reasons to Give, and Booker T’s Fights for Kids Foundation. She is also the founder of Goldie Belle, LLC a talent management company representing professional athletes, and Forever Golden Films, an all-female production company.
Through The Goldie Legacy, her 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Rhonda empowers athletes transitioning into careers in television, commercial work, modeling, and film. Her ability to identify, guide, and develop talent has made her a respected leader at the intersection of sports and entertainment.
Rhonda Marie Alston’s journey—from young dancer to influential producer, talent manager, and philanthropist—reflects a lifelong commitment to creativity, excellence, and service.
