Career[edit]

In 1969, she made her first television appearance by playing a little girl named Sally on the very first episode of Sesame Street. She recalls that when she was six years old, she kept blowing her line, saying 'Hi, Daddy', instead of 'Hi, Gordon', his character's name. She ended up with just an appearance where she walked down the street with Big Bird.^[10] At the age of 11, Holly worked for the children's show Kidsworld as a celebrity correspondent; she interviewed many actors and actresses for the program. As an actress, she has appeared on the TV series 21 Jump Street (1987–1991), Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (1992–1997), For Your Love (1998–2002), and Like Family (2003–2004). She was featured in the video for the 1990 hit single 'Whip Appeal' by Babyface as the sultry radio host at the beginning of the video.^[11] In 1992, she portrayed Diana Ross in The Jacksons: An American Dream. Robinson most recently starred on the UPN comedy Love, Inc.. The show lasted just one season, and was canceled after the WB/UPN merger.

Robinson has also had a limited career as a singer and recording artist, including the introductory song to 21 Jump Street.^[10] She contributed a variety of songs to the soundtrack of the film Howard the Duck. (She appeared as a musician/singer in a minor role in the film.) She recorded the theme song 'We Got Our Love' for the 1988 film Three for the Road. She and Dawnn Lewis, along with R&B quartet En Vogue, performed the theme song for the first season of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper.

In 2006, she won, along with fellow writer Daniel Paisner, the Quills Award in Sports for the book Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm Watching the Game!: A Woman's Guide to Loving Pro Football.^[12]

In 2010, she participated in The Celebrity Apprentice 3, playing for her own charity, the HollyRod Foundation,^[10] which provides support for families with Parkinson's disease or autism.

Robinson began co-hosting The Talk, a CBS daytime talk show, on October 18, 2010.^[13] In this forum, Robinson was known for expressing herself through her ethnicity and being especially vocal about African American issues and, since her son Rodney is affected by it, autism.^[14] In April 2011, Robinson hosted a weekly series on The Talk promoting autism awareness.^[15]

After serving on The Talk for its first season, Robinson along with Leah Remini were released from the show. Failure to ever disclose why the two were let go brought on a great deal of audience criticism of the show, as well as protests from the stars' fans.^[16][17]

One of their twins, Rodney Jr., was diagnosed with autism at age three.^[21] Robinson plays baseball for Sierra Canyon, the same school where Bronny James and Zaire Wade play basketball.

After her father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Robinson and her husband co-founded the HollyRod Foundation, which is dedicated to help find a cure for the disease, as well as for autism, and assist those living with the conditions.^[10][22]

In September 2012, Nestle's Carnation Breakfast Essentials announced they had teamed up with Robinson, featuring her as the spokesperson for the brand.^[23][24] On October 4, 2012, Robinson was inducted as an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.^[25]

Inspired and energized by her participation in last fall’s C3 event, Cortney Phillips Meriwether ’09 wrote a blog post about her experience.

Last October, I spent a day surrounded by the electric energy of smart, confident women at my favorite place in the entire world. And I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the experience ever since.

You see, I went to college in a magical place. And you could tell me you feel the same way about your college, but I wouldn’t believe you. I’m convinced Hollins University is special in a way that is wholly unique and—yes—magical. I’m not entirely sure how to describe it to outsiders except to say that this place is my exhale. It is where I am not only most myself, but where I’m also my best self. The second I drive onto campus, I begin thinking clearer. When I am there, I am simultaneously more energized and relaxed. Tension leaves my shoulders. Everything I haven’t done or wished I could do suddenly seems completely possible.

So when I was asked to return to campus as a featured alum for a career conference, I think it took me all of 30 seconds to accept. A day talking to successful career women and driven, doe-eyed students? Sign me up. Of course, there’s nothing like being back at one of the most formative locations of your younger days to bring about a little reflection.

When I graduated from college in 2009, I didn’t even know that my current profession existed. Well, obviously I knew being a freelance writer existed, but content marketing? Nope. It wasn’t even remotely on my radar. I had spent most of my life telling people that I wanted to be a writer when I grew up, but really had no concept of what that would look like. But now I’m doing it. I’m making a living as a writer. Box checked.

And yet. During one of the “speed connection” sessions (think speed dating, but with alums and students networking instead), I found myself feeling incredibly…small? These young women, these students, these dreamers—they kept coming up to my table and sitting across from me and telling me all of the big things they hoped to do with their life. They had pie-in-the-sky dreams. They had make-a-difference dreams. Didn’t I used to be just like that? So hopeful, so inspired, so sure I would be who I wanted to be?

Because, yes: I am making a living writing. But 2009 Cortney wanted to be a writer with a capital Creative. She wanted to write novels and short stories and essays that people would read and think, “Yes, I feel this exact same way sometimes. Thank you.” And it’s not that I’ve given up on those goals, because I haven’t. I’m still taking small steps to pursue them, but they are just that: small. Somehow, bafflingly, six and a half years have passed. I can do more.

I went back to Hollins expecting to inspire current students to pursue their goals. I didn’t quite expect that they would instead have the same effect on me. That I would feel more inspired than I have in months. That I would want to act, want to do, want to be…better.

And really, I should have known. If there’s any place that can reconnect me with who I am and who I want to be, it’s Hollins. It’s a good reminder to my fellow sisters: If you’re feeling lost, if you aren’t quite sure you’re on track, or if you just need to remember how it felt—go back. Step onto campus. Take a deep breath. Exhale.

Cortney Phillips Meriwether was an English/creative writing major at Hollins. She received her M.F.A. in creative writing from North Carolina State University in 2012. She works as a freelance writer in content marketing and lives in Buckhannon, West Virginia, with her husband, Jack. This essay was originally published on cortneyphillips.com.
