Born and raised in Detroit, MI, Robia earned a B.S. in Biology from Lincoln University, Jefferson City, MO, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Missouri, Columbia. Robia is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. Since graduation in 2009, Robia has worked with several agencies providing behavioral health services to adolescents, young adults, middle aged adults, and geriatrics. Robia utilizes several treatment modalities providing the provision of individual, family, and group treatment to those who suffer from previous and/or present mental illness, substance use disorders, and/or comorbid disorders. Such services have assisted with improving stability in daily living, family relationships, homeostasis, abstinence, and improving one’s ability to cope with internal and/or external stressors.

In 2013, Robia began working as an adjunct instructor for Vatterott Extreme Institute by Nelly, where she taught several general education courses such as Introduction to Sociology, General Psychology, Fundamentals of Poetry, Creative Writing, and Public Speaking. She later, in 2014-2017, embarked on a new journey landing the opportunity to teach at the HBCU Harris Stowe State University, within the College of Education. Robia taught several courses including, Abnormal Psychology, Adolescent Psychology, Educational Psychology, and General Psychology. In 2017, Robia relocated to Chandler, AZ where she continued her passion for teaching at Gateway Community College. In 2018, she began working as a Mobile Crisis Interventionist where she often states, “I’m Moses and I’m sent here to walk with the people.” Robia has continued her passion for helping others through continued crisis work. She gained additional experience while working at Aurora Behavioral Health, a level 1 Psychiatric facility. Since early 2020, Robia has worked closely with the Mesa Fire and Police Department as a licensed clinician. Robia helps to guide the citizens of Mesa, AZ with de-escalating crisis situations ensuring the appropriate services are rendered. 

Therapist by day and an artist by night, Robia has learned to manage her time equally. Creating a platform in St. Louis, MO, Robia’s performances are a synthesis of poetry, song, spoken word, and Hip Hop. On March 17th, 2013, Robia released a full-length musical project entitled: A Beautiful BEAST; produced by Grammy nominated Carl Nappa (of the artist Nelly). The album release showcase was hosted by the Saint Louis History Museum, consisting of a full-scale musical production to include theatre, dance with an eight-piece band. The performance was met with great reviews and reported as inspirational by many. Since then, Robia produced three additional shows, “One Word One Voice,” “A Night of Kanye”, and “Who’s that Lady?”. Again, all three shows paralleled with great reviews and accolades. More recently, Robia has embarked further in her passion and became the Founder of E.C.H.O-Evoking Change Hands-On, LLC. E.C.H.O serves as a platform for interactive “Pop-Up” retreats where individuals re-learn and employ new ways to reconnect with the mind, body, and soul through shared experiences. Robia’s ability to therapeutically bridge the gap of creative writing, musical performances, and empowerment is nothing short of powerful and amazing. Journey with Robia as she helps you to understand the “you” that makes you, you.
