Angelica "Jelly" Robinson is a 31 year old server of dreams who is based in Houston, Texas. At a young age, she began cutting & styling her classmates’ and cousins’ hair for fun. As she grew older, she realized that she wanted to make a career out of hairstyling. She found that she naturally had a connection with kids, particularly those with sensory challenges & thus, Peace & Love Studios was born. Today, Peace & Love Studios provides mobile hair styling for those with sensory needs all over the metro area of Houston...for starters.

Slipped through the cracks of special education, graduated high school with a second grade reading level, faced trauma, became incarcerated, started a personal trainer business in his native Pennsylvania, saw the pandemic bring his business to a halt, then took steps to change his life. How? By seeking treatment for his OCD diagnosis, changing his diet, re-committing to healthy nutrition, moving to California and doing something remarkable. Oliver decided to first face the fact that he could not read. He then decided to teach himself to read.

He went even further and decided to document it on social media, his self guided journey to literacy. His story has become a sensation covered by Good morning America, The Los Angeles Times, and Inside Edition. He hopes to inspire others as a motivational & inspirational speaker. He shares his story, as well as his vision, with just Two Dads.

If you were faced with raising a son diagnosed with autism, becoming a widow, and being faced with all the challenges that life brings anyway, what would you do? If your name is Debra Vines, here is what you might do. Become a warrior of a mom and Advocate. Launch a non-profit organization that assists parents and caregivers in navigating the systems of social services and academic inequality. Connect families to resources, support groups, opportunities, and so much more. Constantly bring great value to others and serve as so much of an inspiration that you end up delivering a TEDx Talk, and, in  2022, have CNN literally recognize you as a hero. That's what you do..and she's just getting started. Hear her remarkable story as she visits with Shawn & Brian in this week's episode of just Two Dads.
