Rhonda Turner, a dedicated public servant with almost 30 years of experience in the Houston Police Department, is trading out her badge for power tools. With retirement in mind, Turner focused on the next chapter and purchased the Memorial location of The Rustic Brush, a popular do-it-yourself (DIY), home decor studio franchise.  Her passion for the business led her to acquire the entire company, making her the CEO. Now, Turner is on a mission to empower other women to find their own second acts through entrepreneurship.
