As the foundation’s first mission, Robinson plans to return to her hometown of Detroit, where she will work with a nonprofit that helps women and girls in underserved neighborhoods.
“I felt it was important to start in my hometown,” she said. “Detroit is the place of my roots, and this is a way that I can continue to give back to the city. I will be excited to shine the spotlight on our first grantee that exemplifies our commitment to helping our girls.”
