Nykidra “Nyki” Robinson is a values-driven leader, entrepreneur, visionary, and motivator with a
heart for people and a passion for changing the world.

Nyki was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and is a graduate of Randallstown High School; this first- generation college student attended Frostburg State University on a senatorial scholarship. Nyki graduated with a degree in business administration and a minor in leadership studies.

was admitted into the 50th Anniversary class of the National Urban Fellows program, where she
earned her Masters of Public Administration from Baruch College.

Nyki is an outreach specialist with over 15 years of project management, community
engagement, and organizing experience. Often labeled as a “millennial on the move,” Nyki’s life
and work experience combined with her interest in politics was birthing ground for the delivery of
her biggest project yet, Black Girls Vote, Inc. This non-partisan, grassroots organization focuses
on encouraging and mobilizing African American women to use their collective voting power to
advocate for issues that impact African American women and families.

In 2020, Nyki created the innovative Party at the Mailbox campaign, one of the first COVID proof
voter education and engagement activations in the nation. PATM launched in April 2020 in
Baltimore for the Primary Election. The program expanded to Detroit and Philadelphia for the
General Election and in Atlanta for the 2021 run-off elections. PATM’s enormous success
includes securing local, national, and international supporters. Nyki is also overseeing the most
extensive known randomized control trial evaluation focused on Black voters’ voter
engagement.
