STYLIST FOR THE PEOPLE is a fund and soon to be show that will create the means to give free access to the life + styling services of seasoned On-air Guest Style expert and Professional Wardrobe Stylist Robin Allen along with her fabulous curated team of expert friends as well to underserved and/or marginalized communities specifically focused on BIWOC, AAPI, Differently-abled & LGBTQ+ folx.
And, whether it’s an intimate + personal journey of identity, or one of being an entrepreneur and needing a glow up in business + branding…or both; the objective is to give the tools, guidance and lessons needed to define, embrace and share their true + authentic identity with the world at the highest level so that who they are on the inside can be fully realized and reflected on the outside with CONFIDENCE, PURPOSE + SUCCESS!
The Inspiration.
"Stylist for the People" came about in January of this year, 2021. After, 2020 and ALL that had happened to the World and to all of us personally, especially for me, the Black Lives Matter movement since I myself, am a Bi-racial black woman, I felt that what I offered to the World wasn't important enough...didn't matter enough...wasn't changing enough and my purpose in life got very clouded.
So, entering into 2021 I brought a lot of those feelings with me. I was really calling on my ancestors and the Universe to show me a sign, a way that said what I was doing as a Wardrobe Stylist mattered. And, one Saturday evening, I got the sign. A friend of mine who I hadn't seen since Gorge Pride Week 2019 randomly texted me a screenshot of a post from a Cole Goodwin expressing his frustration and stress for getting dressed every morning and then wrote in the text, "Hey girl, have you ever thought of doing a "fund" to help people in the LGBTQ+ community and beyond? If so, I'll kick it off with $50!" And from there a lightbulb went off!!
I had always wanted to offer my services to MY community for free but didn't quite know how while also being able to make a living at the same time. But, when I read the word "fund" my mind just started swirling. If I could raise funds to cover my cost and the complete cost of the custom experience I would be offering, then I COULD DO THIS! I could level the playing field and help underserved and underrepresented communities, MY community, be able to rise up with confidence and purpose and not just take on the world but take it over!!
And so, "Stylist for the People" was born! It is the perfect way for me to combine my activism, my culture and my business to create REAL CHANGE using my talent and skills."
