Robin currently serves as the lead organizer for the dedicated people of congregations located in the Northwest region of the DFW metroplex. Ordained as itinerant elder in the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, Robin serves as the Assistant Minister of Children’s Ministry at Joy Tabernacle A.M.E. Church in Dallas, TX. Additionally, she serves as Secretary of the A.M.E. North Texas Conference, Women in Ministry.
Robin recently earned her Master of Divinity with a concentration in Urban Ministry from Southern Methodist University, Perkins School of Theology. While at Perkins, she served as chair of the Justice in Action Committee, as well as president of the student organization, L@s Seminaristas. Robin was Perkins’ first recipient of the Harry Hosier Spirit Award, as well as the recipient of the B’nai B’rith Award in Social Ethics for “scholarly competence in the field of social ethics and personal commitment as shown in voluntary activity in support of worthy causes.”
Robin is passionate about those who are marginalized and directly impacted by systems designed to oppress, divide, and dehumanize God’s people. Her faith moves her to help people connect their faith to actions and to give hope and empower those in and outside of congregations. When this native Texan is not actively engaged in the Ministry of Justice, she loves spending time with her husband, Ron, and their miniature schnauzer, Wiz.
