Her work celebrates cultural pride, diversity, and the power of representation, inspiring young readers to dream big, love who they are, and stand proud in every space. Robin is also a CPG sales and marketing Strategist, Certified Performance & Empowerment Coach, and the visionary behind MIXED GIRL BEAUTIFUL — a brand and movement celebrating self-love, unity, and cultural pride.

As a professional CPG strategist, Robin brings purpose-driven brands to life, blending creativity, authenticity, and heart.
