Honoree Robyn Crawford speaks at Girls Write Now Live, April 3, 2020

We were proud to honor Robyn Crawford with the Agent of Change Award for illustrating the difference between a friend and a fair-weather friend; for being brave, not only in telling her own truth but in elevating a friend’s legacy when the public had expressed their scorn; for reminding us that acceptance is not always a given; and for showing us the power of writing from the deepest possible place-a place of love.

Thanks Robyn, your book was awesome. You and Silvia seemed to be true friends for Nippy. Thank You. Nippy deserved a book such as this.

[@sadiM653]

Thank you for finally telling your story, it had a lot of parallels to the dysfunction that happens within the black community. Like how Whitney Houston was forced to be this strong black woman who could handle any and everything and pretty much feed her entire family etc....She was never able to get a break. Dealing with toxic black men like Bobby Brown instead of leaving, her family having a disdain for gay and bisexual people, her mother babying her grown brothers and being jealous of her own daughter’s success and beauty. I mean the list goes on, but I’m definitely going to re-read “A song for you” because it’s really just that good.

I adored you book. I have seen all Whitney’s concerts in CT. Her voice was always stellar. I remember you sitting next to the stage in New Haven giving Whitney water, etc. Love and Light.

Hey thanks 4 putting things right about u & whitney onelove❣😊

[@trinajohnson183]

Hi Robyn.....I'm glad to have caught this video on youtube, although I'm a year late. 😃 It's ok, it still gives me an opportunity to personally say to you, thank you! I read your book, A Song For You My Life with Whitney Houston. I could say so much about it but I'm just gonna say that it was was an awesome great read, and believable. Thank you so much for being a REAL & TRUE caring & loving friend of Whitney. You truly had her back! I could go on & on about that & more but.......Anyway, I've been a fan of the beautiful late Queen, Whitney since I was a teen... I have separate 24x36 posters of her, Michael Jackson, & MLK in my home. Robyn, you are a strong woman with a beautiful heart. Many blessings to you, your family, and may you accomplish all that you set out to do. You so deserve to, because you gave.......& you still give!💯👌🥰

I've lived on Ampere Parkway in the 80'. And as a youth my siblings and i was in camp at the YMCA in e.o.

[@strausshunter5049]

When is Robin Crawford's birthday is it December 17th or February 8th

[@trylob4128]

Maybe you devoted most of your life to her, hoping that, at some point, she would be so official with you. You know, you won't say .. Her daughter is not here and I think that she started her adventure with stimulants very quickly .. Maybe you even had time to notice before you left Whitney.
