About The Author

Meet Fonda Woodard

I am a proud veteran and retired civil servant with 36 years of dedicated service in the Federal Aviation Administration, where I worked as a transportation specialist, career advisor, and first sergeant.

I am a wife, mother of four, and grandmother of ten, one an angel grandbaby, who is my greatest source of strength and joy.

Today, I step boldly into my role as an author and advocate, using my voice to confront silence and bring awareness to issues of trauma and healing.

Advocating for Survivors

Inspiring Healing Journeys

Guiding with Faith and Purpose

From Silence to Strength

A Voice That Heals

My debut memoir, Never Said a Word, tells my unfiltered story of abandonment, sexual grooming, and abuse. These were the experiences I carried in silence for far too long. Through my writing, I invite others into the conversation around healing and breaking generational cycles.

Beyond the page, I am the creator of a FEW Mindful Moments, a podcast dedicated to meaningful conversations about growth and recovery, and a FEW Lost Words, a blog that expands on the themes in my book. My mission is to ensure survivors, service members, and families are never unheard again.
