Robin has been a women’s rights advocate her whole life. Growing up in a family of strong women and supportive men, she was encouraged to believe in the incredible potential of girls. When she realized that not everyone shared the same ideals, she figured she might as well do something about it! From advocating for gender-based violence with Bold Voice Ambassadors to playing on two national lacrosse teams while still in school, she has dabbled in a lot. Passionate about the organization she founded with her sister, GirlPower Uganda, it felt right to dedicate her gap year to growing the initiative. She has had meaningful experiences, like interning with AFRIpads, the largest reusable pad company in Africa, to learn how best to alleviate menstrual poverty. Having spent her entire life in Uganda and completed all her schooling there, she is now headed to Harvard as part of the class of 2029 to pursue her undergraduate studies. If asked where home is, the answer is clear: Uganda will always be her home.
