Sister Circle
I had the best time with the ladies of 'Sister Circle Live' when I visited their Atlanta set to talk about my new foundation - the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls. It was a pleasure being around women who were so uplifting and had such great positive energy. We discussed the importance of supporting girls and young women and what services we could offer to enrich their lives. It takes a village!
Giving Tuesday
It is incredible to make a difference in the life a girl. The S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls launched a little more than a year ago and already we have impacted the lives of hundreds of girls. But, our success depends on YOU! On this Giving Tuesday, I hope you will consider making a small donation to help our mission. Our areas of impact: (S)TEM, (H)EALTH, (A)RTS, (U)NITY and (N)EIGHBORHOODS. Empower a girl and she WILL change the world!

Girls Inc.
Strong, Smart and Bold! That is the motto of Girls Inc. - the national girls empowerment organization that gives underserved girls amazing mentors and scholarships for college. Today was their annual fundraiser in Los Angeles and it was full of incredible women. I have had the opportunity to host the event for 10 years and I always love coming back to support and wear my RED!
Quincy Jones - The Maestro of Music
Can you imagine MUSIC without Quincy Jones? This man is a true legend! "Q", as we call him, has 29 Grammy's and has helped make the careers of countless artists. Last night, the foundation, "In A Perfect World" honored Quincy for his work and his philanthropy and he was dropping pearls of wisdom all night! Congratulations and we love you for making this world a better place, Q!
90 Day Fiance
Oh, it is the guilty pleasure for millions! ‘90 Day Fiance’ is TLC’s most popular show. Here is a picture of me on the New York set hosting the latest reunion show and there were so many surprises! My mother has been trying to get the scoop out of me but, my lips are sealed!
24 Hours with Yours Truly!
There is no doubt that my life has gotten busier since I left my job as host of Access Hollywood after 16 years. I am executive producing television shows, I just optioned the film and TV rights to two novels, I am hosting television specials, I am writing my second book and I launched my passion project - the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls. DuJour Magazine followed me for a day to get a glimpse into "Life with Shaun Robinson". Check it out!

Sisters on the Beach
You all know how important family is to me. I have lived in eight cities since I left my hometown Detroit so, being connected to family gives me a since of stability. Let me introduce you to my sister-in-law, Carolyn, who lives in Atlanta. She is my hanging buddy! We have traveled the world together - Paris, London, Geneva, Munich - all over the globe! This past weekend, she came to visit me for a few days here in Los Angeles. We had a packed schedule. We kicked off our day going to church and then, we hit the beach. Blessed!

Women Making a Difference
This panel of extraordinary women are at the forefront of fighting Human Trafficking in California and beyond. They came to share their stories and to give advice to protect girls from this growing epidemic. From the left: Rachel Thomas and Jessica Midkiff - both survivors of human trafficking and activists; actress Garcelle Beauvais who showed the audience a sneak peek at her upcoming film 'Lalo's House'; Kim Biddle, Founder of Saving Innocence, a nonprofit servicing women and girls who are survivors of trafficking; Joan Pera of the Los Angeles County Probation Department and Tracy Webb, former Cyber Crime Prosecutor.
Senator Kamala Harris
"If you are fortunate enough to have an opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well." That is a quote from Senator Kamala Harris (D-Califoria), a woman whom I admire and am grateful to call my friend. I met Kamala when she was District Attorney of San Francisco. From our first conversation, it didn't take long to know that she had a true passion to help the underserved. She has a bright future and I am very proud of her!
