    Finding your place in the world can be tricky—especially with today’s loud, divisive noise. You feel pressured to pick a side or be left on the sidelines. This inspirational talk inspires audiences to take a deep look inside their souls and challenges them to find their true purpose for living and how they want to show up and be seen in the world. Most of us were taught to get an education, get married, have kids, buy a home and work. But what does building a fulfilling life truly look like? Audiences are wowed by Romona Robinson's spiritual, inspirational story of growing up in extreme poverty on a dirt road to nowhere to finding her somewhere as a television news giant. More importantly, how along the way she found her true purpose and you can too.

  • Your Voice is Your Power : Your Voice is Your Power: Stop Believing Thoughts of Fear and Start Believing Who God Says You Are

    Anxiety is threatening the mental health of our society. Recent studies show nearly 60% of our girls are sad or depressed. We are bombarded with thousands of voices from the time we wake up until the time we lay down for bed. Some of them good, but often bad--telling us awful things about ourselves. If you allow it, these voices can wreck your marriage, relationships, your job and even you! They will tell you awful lies about yourself.

    Romona Robinson knows, because she used to listen to the negative ones telling her ""who she is, who she should be and who she'd never be."" She challenges audiences to push past the debilitating voices that threaten to block our paths and ruin our futures.

    • The power is in "your voice" to change your life."

  • Believe in You

    Believe in your abilities. Know that you can compete for any job you apply for and win. Remember failure is not a bad word, but a strength builder.

    You've got the degree, now what? A recent LendEDU study found that as students get closer to graduating, they lose confidence in their career outlook. Many become fearful. It's because the "real world" stressors kick in. Will I get a job in my field? How will I provide for myself if I don't? Can I live with my parents? Emmy award winning anchor and trailblazer Romona Robinson lived through all of these scenarios. Fear and not believing she deserved a seat at the table threatened to derail her career path.

    Graduates are celebrated and motivated with real talk:

    • Encouraged to push past their fears and focus on their accomplishment
    • It's not a dream denied, just a dream delayed.
    • Deliver motivational nuggets they can use when disappointments arise
    • Be careful who you allow to guide and influence you
    • Kindness always wins
