Robin Kinnie is a woman making history. And it's happening not just in the Motor City - but worldwide. 

Her company, The Kinnie Media Group,LLC launched an internet radio station, Motor City Woman Radio Network, the only station dedicated to inspiration, motivation and information that helps women lead more fulfilling lives. No radio station exists that solely strives to serve women with smart, lively conversation. The station features an all-female lineup of show hosts. Shows range from career and personal development to entrepreneurship and spiritual growth.

She is a wife, mom and career woman. And women like her are always in need of tools, resources and information that help them in all aspects of their life. Robin Kinnie, an avid talk radio fan, couldn’t locate a show that spoke to her interests and goals. She said she didn’t want one show or one segment dedicated to women. She wanted an entire station but couldn’t find one so she created it.

Kinnie has been hosting events, sharing positive information through an active social media presence and partnering with organizations and initiatives dedicated to helping women since 2015 and now the Network can make a greater impact worldwide.
