Delesia Robinson was born and raised in East Cleveland, Ohio. While attending Shaw High school she was the recipient of the Martha Holden Jennings scholarship award for an essay she wrote on Teen pregnancy, facts vs fiction. Delesia started her career as a Registered nurse at St. Lukes Medical center in 1986. Currently she works from her home office as a mobile RN Case Manager for the Medical Insurance Company CareSource. In July of 2013, Delesia founded an organization called Pride Among Daughters & Sisters, aka PADS. PADS is a 501c3 geared towards empowering and educating underprivileged girls and women while making costly feminine hygiene products (sanitary pads, tampons etc) available. She developed a partnership with the Hunger Network’s Stay Well Program in 2014, and has done events with them on Cleveland’s East and West side. In 2015 Delesia was nominated for the American Jewish Committee’s, Isaiah Award for Human relations. The award is given to local nonprofits to lead the way in building a better and more just society. In 2016 she was presented with the TABITHA AWARD(Acts 9:36-42) by the Northern Ohio Baptist District Association, graduated from a Neighborhood Leadership Development Program sponsored by the Mandel Foundation and published a Christian children’s book with Westbow Press called Homeless Al. A portion of Homeless Al’s proceeds will go to PADS. You can purchase a copy at Loganberry bookstore in Shaker Heights, online via Amazon or in FBC’s church office during business hours. This year Delesia will focus on developing her relationship with the makers of the Lena Cup. Delesia is currently living in Midtown Cleveland with her husband Darryl.
