He's already made a name for himself as a proven leader, but as they say, "You ain't seen nothin' yet." Dr. Carlos Robinson  is now the President & CEO of the OKC Black Chamber of Commerce, a job he's most suited for with a history of recruitment, outreach, and workforce development. Carlos is the first to admit that it was hip-hop dancing that helped him survive "the streets." He says that dancing saved his life and college rescued him. He holds degrees from OCCC, OCU, and SNU including his EdD that he and his wife earned concurrently. From the "Everybody Has a Story Dept.": Carlos provided the inspiration for the "Hip Hop Nutcracker" choreographed by Hui Cha Poos that was later made into the Covid-era movie "Finding Carlos" by Lance McDaniel.
