Ronyiah Newcombe is a freshman at WEGO and a first-time member of the Wildcat Chronicle. She is excited to improve her writing skills and learn new ways to tell stories. In her free time, Ronyiah enjoys watching movies and listening to music. Her favorite films are “ATL” and “Annie” (starring Quvenzhané Wallis), and her go-to artists include Tupac, Jhené Aiko, and Brent Faiyaz.
