Gifts for a Girl Boss with Rocky Robinson founder Audra Robinson
After years of working in the retail marketing industry and often being "the only" at the table for top retailers and brands you know and love, Audra noticed that something was missing…a brand that was relevant and specially-made for Black girls. Audra saw that gap and set out to create a brand and self-care products that every girl loves – Rocky Robinson!
Rocky was created to encourage Black girls to be their very best, and to foster a love of education, opening the doors to help girls see all the possibilities that they can be using social & digital content to engage and educate, and personal care products including shower gel, lotion, and lip balm to build self-esteem and love. Rocky was created because representation matters!
Their Year 1 goal is to reach 1million+ girls to help them realize their potential and possibilities with digital and social content, gamified learning and aligning to programs that create better outcomes for Black girls.

Why is shopping local important to you?
Shopping local matters to me because it embodies the commandment to "Love thy neighbor as you love thyself." When you shop local, you put money in the hands of local makers and entrepreneurs who live and work where you live and work. And that will make a better local economy, supporting economic growth, thriving communities and families
What are your favorite kind of gifts to give?
I love gifts that are unique, meaningful and ahead of trends. I really enjoy giving gifts and my goal is to always give something that will tell the person I'm shopping for that I see them and I took time out to find something they would love at first sight.
I love this dynamic duo, I have a few of their items in my home/office.They take the wholesomeness of cross stitch and mashed it up with pop culture, or vulgar sayings. I love it!
Masks that provide both style and function? Yes, please! Because this pandemic isn't going away any time soon and we want to be safe, and we may as well be stylish at the same damn time.
