Ashro Woman: Robin B.

Meet Woman of the Week, Pastor Robin B. from Wheaton, MD!

“An Ashro woman is a woman who knows who she is and is not afraid for the world to see her. She walks with pride.”

Like many of us, Robin loves to dress up. She wears hats to church at least twice a month—and sometimes on the weekend with denim.”I dress up every day. I do it for myself because there was a time in my life when all I had was one pair of black slacks. I dress [up] because it makes me feel good.” As much as Robin loves style and fashion, she is also grounded by faith, family and a great attitude. “What makes me laugh is me. I have learned to laugh at me.”

We are so happy to call Robin PASTOR Robin because becoming a pastor is her “latest triumph”! Congratulations Robin! We also think it’s a beautiful thing that her latest triumph can go far beyond her life to inspire us! No matter what our calling, when we follow it and lean into it day after day, little by little, we become better—and so does the world.
