The Check-In with Black Menswear

S6 EP3: Lawrence Robinson on Trusting God, Betting on Himself & Being “Built Different”


Listen Later

In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with actor Lawrence Robinson for an honest conversation about faith, discipline, and the long road from Philly to New York to LA. From his early days as a baggage handler (and a real-life run-in with Clifton Powell that changed his trajectory) to landing lead roles and leveling up in rooms he once only dreamed about, Lawrence breaks down what it really means to keep going when it’s scary—and keep believing when it’s quiet.

Together, they unpack:

  •  The simple but steady quote that anchors him: “Trust God”
  •  Discovering acting by accident—and realizing “this is it”
  •  Fatherhood, sacrifice, and the fear that comes with chasing a dream
  •  The advice Clifton Powell gave him (and how he followed it step-by-step)
  •  Why his BET Tales lead role became a breakthrough moment—and how momentum followed
  •  Being typecast, being misunderstood, and still staying true to who he is
  •  Why training matters (class, craft, and confidence) and how “book the room” really works
  • Fashion as expression: Paris Fashion Week, layers, and building a vision bigger than the moment
  •  The mindset battle: fear of “missing my mark” and keeping your vibrations high
  •  The message he’d tell his younger self—and the one he leaves with Black men today: “You are enough.”
  • If you’ve been wrestling with timing, purpose, or pressure—this one is a reminder to keep showing up, keep doing the work, and keep trusting God with the outcome.
