Founders Corner

Brandi Robinson is a proud mother of two, serial entrepreneur, author, creative impact specialist, and mental health advocate with over 20 years of experience serving at-risk youth and families. She is the Founder and President of Stillhere, an anti-violence organization devoted to creating safe spaces that foster acceptance, healing, and success. Brandi’s mission was born out of personal tragedy—in 2015, after gun violence devastated her family, she transformed her pain into a powerful platform for change.

Brandi is a certified trauma consultant with the Mercer County Traumatic Loss Coalition, a Restorative Justice Circle Facilitator, and a dedicated youth advocate. Her work is rooted in trauma-informed care, restorative practices, and a passion for community healing. Alongside her executive board, she developed Stillhere’s Youth Programming, which incorporates the Positive Youth Development Curriculum, resiliency training, and a foundation of love to empower the next generation. Most recently, she expanded this work with the launch of Parents Leading Unprecedented Success (P.L.U.S.), a program designed to support and uplift caregivers navigating trauma and adversity.

Brandi brings a dynamic professional background in hospitality management, finance, and public service, and holds certifications as an NJ Notary Public and SafeSERV Manager. As a former catering business owner, she continues to apply her entrepreneurial expertise to community development and mentorship initiatives.

Raised in New York City with a strong work ethic, and now serving communities across New Jersey, Brandi’s passion for service is inspired by her grandmothers—both trailblazers in the New York State Foster Care System. Her life and work reflect a deep, generational commitment to resilience, advocacy, and transformative care.

For Brandi, creating safe spaces isn’t just a mission—it’s a lifestyle.
