depauw university alumni magazine: No one ever slows her AgendA
Rhonesha Byng '11 empowers young women through her growing digital media platform.
Written for DePauw Magazine by Tom Chiarella, Hampton and Esther Boswell Distinguished University Professor of Creative Writing, and writer-at-large and fiction editor for Esquire magazine.
When describing the meeting of two people at a southbound train in New York, writers will often turn the phrase “deep in the bowels of Penn Station,” even though the meeting ground is not that deep and there’s nothing particularly bowel-like about it. In fact, the waiting area for the Acela trains at Penn Station is lined by donut stores and by-the-slice pizza places and feels brightly-lit, clean and dry. Midday on a Friday, it’s crowded with New Yorkers skipping work early, headed to one Jersey shore or another. I scan the crowd for the familiar face of Rhonesha Byng (DePauw ’11), my friend and former student, a leader recently named to Forbes’ 2017 “30 Under 30” list in both the media and “dorm room founder” categories, who’s meeting me for a ride down to Washington together.
She texts me: I’m about to get off the subway at 34th.
To which I volley: It’s track 9e. I’ll be in line.
I figure she is 10 minutes out, deep in the bowels of the subway such as it is. I amble to the queue, and take a deep breath and a look around. The two of us are riding down to D.C. together, where I will watch her give a talk at to a group of young girls at Catholic University. Rhonesha is an editor, motivational speaker and a leader in empowering millennial women.

Entrepreneur Magazine
“Never be afraid to ask for what you need. Ask for advice, ask for money, then ask for more money, ask for people to promote you, ask for feedback... Don't be afraid. It's scary and you will feel moments of doubt, but push past it and keep going. We all feel doubt and fear but what separates those who achieve from those who just dream is the ability to push forward in spite of those feelings.”
