Long bio

Dr. Ta'Rhonda Jones is a true representation of a woman with many hats. She stands strong as an activist, actress, director, producer, celebrity MasterChef champion, fashion designer, host, comedian, intoxicating rapper, songwriter, philanthropist and doctor. Jones is most known for her breakout role as Porsha on FOX's hit television show Empire. Showcasing more than just her acting skills on the show, Ta'Rhonda shocks the world with her forward-thinking talents and golden mindset to shift out-of-the-box thinking.

Ta'Rhonda founded the Black Village Foundation, focused on providing financial assistance to entrepreneurs, and now leads a new endeavor focused on developing independent artists on the South Side and West Side of Chicago. She spends her off season as a nonprofit leader and motivational influencer. Since the beginning of COVID she has given away hundreds of thousands of pounds of food across many communities, earned a reputation for her Christmas giving with more than 20,000 toys, and launched over $150,000 in grants to build Black wealth in Chicago. She is Chicago's daughter.

Ta'Rhonda has been featured on ABC, FOX, NBC, Lifetime, BET and other influential networks. Her most recent fashion project was a collaborative partnership with AKIRA, showcasing her collection at New York Fashion Week.
