ANGELIA

After being sexually assaulted at four, Angelia Robinson grew up with an identity crisis so acute that she didn't even know how to properly spell her name until she was 12. Her autobiography, Who R U?, describes a middle-class broken little girl from Maryland, who is transformed over the course of 48 years, and a fearless woman who would be used to help transform the world.

A devout belief in God helped her to realize she had a higher purpose to fulfill. But beyond being a wife and mother, Robinson couldn't envision what that destiny might be. She had always, throughout her life, been pushed into a position of standing out, of shining, of leadership, because people gravitated toward her. She understood that she was one of God's messengers (which is the literal meaning of her first name). She had also been a recording artist and a damned good one. Yet there she was at age 42, just coming out of an unhappy 16-year marriage, recently evicted from her home, living paycheck-to-paycheck working at a call center doing telemarketing, with a newborn - and miserable.

This wasn't how her story was supposed to go. It was time for her to turn around the narrative.

Bubbly and gregarious despite absorbing one punch after another from life, she took the advice of an old friend and started selling bedroom accessories and other enhancement products at in-home parties, like Tupperware but for couples. Within a few years, she became a superstar in direct sales, earning more money than she'd ever seen in her life and standing out as someone her fellow saleswomen looked up to. Suddenly, a woman who had numerous brushes with death and could never find her path and passion was a senior executive director and a professional everyone held up as an example of the right way to do things.

Angelia Robinson survived until the miracle happened. Now she lives her life in a state of bliss.

I’m a retired recording artist that moved to Texas 8 years ago to live and work with Gospel Sensation Fred Hammond. After a bitter divorce and less than desirable experience working with Fred I found myself having to start over and actually reinvent myself. So, at 42 years old I had no idea what I was going to do. My journey has always been about empowering women and so I stumbled upon this company called Pure Romance. I would go on to become the 1st African American woman to obtain the highest title in this $400 Million Dollar Company, develop a Million Dollar Team of my own and acquire a seat on their Board of Directors all within the first 5 years of my career as an independent consultant. This journey would spark me to finally write my Autobiography in an effort to further help women to heal from their past traumas and become the best version of themselves.
