Story & Lesson Highlights with Rashá Robinson of Mount Vernon NY

Rashá Robinson shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Good morning Rashá , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me right now is a mix of creativity and focus — balancing film production planning, writing scripts, and promoting my latest projects. Between editing, coordinating with my team, and handling marketing tasks, I make sure to stay grounded through prayer and self-reflection.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Rashá Robinson, and I’m an independent filmmaker, writer, and director from Mount Vernon, New York. I created my production company RRRWorks to bring bold, emotional, and thought-provoking stories to life—especially ones that highlight Black voices and powerful female leads. What makes my brand unique is its mix of spirituality, realism, and raw storytelling—I aim to create films that make audiences feel something deeply. Right now, I’m working on several exciting projects, including my feature film Quiet Dreams and my horror franchise Vault 13, both designed to inspire, entertain, and open meaningful conversations.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My grandma and my mom saw me clearly before I ever saw myself. They always told me I was special, creative, and destined for something greater—even when I doubted it. Their belief in me gave me the strength to chase my dreams and become the woman and filmmaker I am today.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear that’s held me back the most in my life is public speaking. For a long time, I would overthink how I sounded or worry about being judged, but I’ve been actively working on it and learning to speak with more confidence and authenticity.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The biggest lie my industry tells itself is that unique ideas can’t exist and that everything has already been done. I believe originality still thrives when creators speak from their truth, culture, and real experiences. Authentic voices and fresh perspectives will always break through the noise

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I’m filming. Being on set, fully immersed in the creative flow, surrounded by my cast and crew, and bringing a story to life feels like pure alignment with my purpose.
