Jonelle Henry

Multi-Passionate.
Purpose-Driven. Unapologetic.

Welcome to my multi-passionate world, where every dream gets its moment to shine.

I’m Jonelle Henry—journalist, entrepreneur, mentor, advocate—and I’ve built my life around the radical idea that we don’t have to choose just one lane.

passion statement

I believe we’re all designed to embrace multiple passions. Instead of narrowing myself to fit someone else’s expectations, I’ve chosen to lead authentically with all parts of who I am.

As CEO of my own path, I’ve discovered that integrating my diverse talents—from leadership to education to advocacy—creates something more powerful than pursuing just one calling. My experience shows that we don’t have to choose between our passions; we can weave them together to create meaningful impact.

This journey has taught me that our multiple interests aren’t distractions—they’re the unique strengths that set us apart. I’m here to build communities where everyone can bring their full, multi-passionate selves to the table.

Where Multi-Passionate Professionals Create Their Masterpiece

showing the love

I have worked closely with Jonelle in a few different capacities over the last 15 years. First, she led a team of female, media professionals as the president of Alliance for Women in Media - National Capitol Area Chapter. She took a struggling organization and helped turn it around by empowering staff and injecting new energy. Later, I worked closely with Jonelle as an event producer at C-SPAN. She would often lead the team of 7 in the company’s coverage of breaking news, historic U.S. events and major international political gatherings. As a leader Jonelle encouraged her colleagues to do their best and used her knowledge and expertise to help create a stronger final product. Her positivity is infectious and her ability to inspire is top notch.

Jonelle has been a colleague and friend for some years now. Her professional demeanor has garnered her the respect of her peers. I have seen her effortlessly maneuver through spaces with grace, integrity and unparalleled intellect. Her efforts outside of her career, coupled with her community projects make her an incredible networker, manger of multiple tasks with varying priority levels and deadlines, and strategist. I would hire and recommend Jonelle for any project ranging from television to business consulting. She's my go-to woman to get it done!

Professor Henry was my instructor at The Washington Center for Mass Media and American Politics. I felt challenged and enriched by my experience in the course. Each class session was unique and engaging and as a result I furthered my understanding of the material significantly. I feel greater confidence in my professional and academic abilities thanks to my time in the course. Perhaps most importantly, Professor Henry was incredibly open and personable throughout the semester and I felt deeply that she cared about my success and the success of my peers. I enthusiastically recommend Professor Henry!

Jonelle creates amazing spaces for cultural conversations and community building. The way she maximizes spaces with quality speakers, thoughtful topics and an engaging presence has solidified her reputation as a curator of socio-political affairs. I’m fortunate to have been a part of Ms. Henry’s magic!

unapologetically multi-passionate

That thoughtful look? It’s me reflecting on my journey from trying to fit into one box to finally embracing all my passions. I remember the confusion, the well-meaning advice to ‘just pick one thing,’ and the breakthrough moment when I realized my diverse talents weren’t a liability—they were my greatest strength.

Now, I empower multi-passionate individuals like you to do the same. I know what it’s like to feel pulled in different directions, to struggle explaining your varied expertise, or to wonder if your multiple projects will ever align. Trust me, I’ve been there.

What I discovered changed everything: our diverse interests aren’t distractions to manage—they’re unique advantages to leverage. I’ve built my career by weaving together my roles as CEO, educator, and advocate into something greater than any single path could offer.

I’m here to provide the strategies, support, and permission you need to thrive as your full, multifaceted self. Whether you’re launching multiple ventures, reimagining your career, or seeking a community that gets you—I’ve got you!
