Author Rosetta Thurman

Rosetta Thurman grew up in the public housing projects of Cleveland, Ohio, and if it weren’t for the nonprofits in her community who helped her family in times of need, she doesn’t know where she would be today. Fueled by a passion for social change, she worked in the nonprofit community for over eight years before founding Thurman Consulting, an education company that specializes in leadership, diversity and social media initiatives to help purpose-driven professionals make a difference. As an author, speaker and coach, Rosetta's mission is to empower a new generation of leaders to create the world as it should be. She is the co-author of How to Become a Nonprofit Rockstar, 50 Ways to Accelerate Your Career, an accessible, do-it-yourself map of how to build a successful career in the nonprofit sector. In her free time, she writes poetry, cooks fancy food and listens to old school jams. She also tweets. A lot.
