RHONDA HARPER

[ USA ]


Picture
Rhonda is founder of the hugely successful Black Girls Surf development camps and volunteer coordinator with Surfrider San Mateo. She's been instrumental in organizing multiple paddle-outs around the world to honor the life of George Floyd and other African Americans killed by police. These events are meant to open dialogue about pain caused by continued racial inequalities. Rhonda’s résumé is equally as eclectic as it is impressive – U.S. Coast Guard veteran, celebrity designer (Eddie Murphy among her clients), journalist, corporate CEO and most recently starting a non-profit for women of color seeking to become professional surfers. Black Girls Surf host development camps (“board meetings”) and Rhonda has spent much of her time in the past several years coaching Khadija “Khadjou” Sambe with an eye on representing Senegal at the Olympics.​
