Ronda

Ronda said what she thought. Always. Loud and clear and without apologizing for it. Some found it difficult. Those who stayed came to understand that it was actually the kindest thing you could do — say the truth out loud.

She isn't the softest and people sometimes take a step back when she speaks. But she is the one who says what nobody else dares to say out loud. And without someone who does that — everyone just pretends everything is fine.

Around Ronda you dare to say what you really think. You stop pretending. It's a little scary. It's mostly liberating.
