Actress Ta’Rhonda Jones Inducted as Honorary Member of Sigma Gamma Rho

At the 60th International Biennial Boule in Houston this weekend, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. proudly inducted Ta’Rhonda Jones as an honorary member.

Jones’s acting career includes notable roles such as Porsha Taylor (Taraji P. Henson’s assistant) on Empire, a role she evolved from a temporary part to a main cast member over an eight-year period. Her impressive resume also includes appearances in Chicago P.D.The Tale of Four directed by Gabourey Sidibe, The Perfect Christmas Present on Hallmark, and Stolen By Her Mother on Lifetime. Additionally, Jones gained recognition as the winner of MasterChef Celebrity Showdown and is currently the official host of Oprah’s OWN Network’s new dating show, The Never Ever Mets. Her dedication to community service was especially evident during the COVID-19 pandemic when she successfully mobilized resources to feed over 1,500 families, surpassing her initial goal of 500.

As the Founder and CEO of the Black Village Foundation, Jones is dedicated to building Black wealth in underserved neighborhoods in Chicago. Her foundation focuses on creating multiple streams of income and breaking the cycle of generational poverty through education and grants. This commitment to service extends to her work with Project H.O.O.D. (Helping Others Obtain Destiny), where she serves as the performing arts director. In this role, she mentors youth, teaches acting and life skills, and is a passionate advocate for positive change.

Ta’Rhonda Jones’s induction into Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. highlights her exceptional contributions across various fields and her steadfast dedication to serving others. Alongside Jones, Sigma Gamma Rho also inducted twelve other remarkable women as honorary members: Krystal Harris, Bianca Knight, Sharon Moody, LaTavia Roberson, Kim Roxie, April Showers, Kera Wright, Bettina Benson, Rebekah Borucki, Jackie Chambers de Freitas, Kelley Gay, and Dwan Martin.
