Isn’t it Lovely? went on the road last spring for a long-awaited conversation with entrepreneur, dreamer, and all-around powerhouse Audra Robinson, founder of Rocky Robinson self-care products. In this Season 5 finale episode, Audra expresses her gratitude to an encouraging mother and the educators and community leaders who invested in her as she was growing up and discusses how her experiences as “the only” in the room throughout her career in corporate marketing led to her commitment to counteract this lack of diversity. Audra explains that while the intersection of “girl power” and “black girl magic” is foundational to Rocky Robinson, Rocky is for everyone - a message of inclusivity that is innate to the brand. In raving over Audra’s gift for celebrating and lifting up others, Tracy and Rachel are thrilled to discover that she is a fellow former cheerleader. Tracy reads the Rocky Robinson empowerment message and everyone chokes up; overcome with love and affection for her hometown, Rachel rattles off a random list of Minneapolis landmarks. “There’s no place like home” indeed.Episode Mentions:Rocky Robinson Website: https://www.itsmerocky.com/Rocky Robinson Instagram: @youresocuterockyRocky Robinson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/youresocuterockyKARE 11 News Story: Black-owned Self-care Business Teaches Young Girls the Power of Self-lovehttps://www.kare11.com/article/money/business/behind-the-business/black-owned-self-care-business-teaches-young-girls-power-of-self-love/89-de8504a4-de2d-4b62-aece-d2011147d947My Founder Story Articlehttps://www.myfounderstory.com/feature-founder-audra-robinson-rocky-robinson/Black Girls Rock!
