Dr. Vondel Sloan
Dr. Vondel Smith-Sloan is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana. Her religious fervor started at a very early age as her love for God was nurtured by her grandmother, Augustine Moore St. Cyr and her mother, Rosemary St. Cyr Smith. Church was never an option and as an active member of Phillips Memorial United Methodist Church from her childhood to her adulthood, she was admired for her musicianship, unique style of leadership, and her ability to speak audaciously with such power and assurance.
