Vondell Richmond is a Certified AI Consultant, 5-Star-Rated REALTOR® with Keller Williams, award-winning actor-filmmaker, and former City Councilman. Raised by a single mom, he struggled in his early college years with a GPA under 2.0. Yet through resilience and faith, he rose to graduate magna cum laude from North Carolina A&T and later earned his MFA in Acting from Rutgers. From homelessness to holding the key to his city as an elected official, Vondell embodies the transformation he now teaches. Over the past decade, he has trained thousands of leaders at organizations such as Coca-Cola, Colgate Palmolive, Footlocker, Landmark Education, Rutgers University, and Co.Starters. A board-accredited NLP Trainer and Certified Scrum Master, Vondell is also a graduate of Leadership Clarksville and Leadership CMCSS and was recently accepted into the Maryland REALTORS® Leadership Academy. He serves on the Howard County Association of REALTORS® Education and YPN committees and is active in community development and education. In real estate, Vondell ranks among the Top 20% Producers with Keller Williams, specializing in first-time buyers, seniors, and military families. His mission in real estate is clear: to help clients "turn their dreams into keys", moving them from renters to homeowners with clarity and confidence. As a creative leader, Vondell has directed plays, performed in over 45 stage productions, and appeared alongside Kim Fields (“Living Single”), Ann Nesby (“Sounds of Blackness”). He co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in his award-winning feature film Sophisticated Romance and WON Regional Best Actor honors at the Kennedy Center. He's toured nationally with "How Sweet the Sound" Gospel Choir Competition and currently serves as a member of the Christian Worldview Film Festival (CWVFF). Vondell is the author of College Celebrity, a leadership guide he taught for 12.5 years at Rutgers University, and the creator of frameworks and events such as Write-Plan-Build, The Six Figure Writer: How to Succeed Writing Books, Blogs, Movies and Plays, and The L.I.V.E. Summit. Today, he is participating in Consult Lemonade’s tech incubator, exploring innovative applications of AI to help entrepreneurs and communities thrive. Whether inspiring professionals with his Win Beyond Your Job framework, equipping homebuyers with practical strategies, or leading audiences through storytelling on stage, Vondell’s driving purpose is to provide life-changing information through education, entertainment, and personal encouragement. As a born again believer, Christ and his faith are paramount to his day to day to success as a leader. Ordained in ministry in 2011, he considers himself a marketplace ministry servant. He currently resides in Columbia, Maryland, where he serves as an active member of the DREAM TEAM, at Union Church. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, cooking, and performing stand-up comedy — reminding audiences that life is not a dress rehearsal, and the time to show up fully is now.
