In Robinson’s tub-side chat with theGrio, she also breaks down what that fancy new all-around deal with ABC actually means for her career. She also talks about what it felt like to book five dates of conversations with Forever First Lady Michelle Obama.
“It was really exciting for her to ask me to moderate on some of the book dates with her, doing five, which is very crazy. And I loved her book so much and I think it is such a great moment . She was filling arenas of 15,000 people coming out for a book. Especially a book written by a Black woman. Like that just doesn’t happen almost ever,” she said.
And though Robinson has numerous titles under her belt in entertainment, there is still one area she’s never tried and she aims to make that happen in the near future.
