While the Spy has made it a habit to feature novelists, poets, historians, and essayists as part of our “Shore Writers” series, Tasha Robinson comes from a different end of that spectrum. The Talbot County native came to writing later in life than most, and used her life experience to write a self-help book to help uplift and motivate members of her community and beyond with the simple message to never let go of your dreams despite life’s obstacles.
Tasha speaks with authority on the subject. Having experienced many childhood traumas, running with the wrong crowd in high school, and dead end vision of her future, Robinson fought the urge to give up and proceeded to earn a bachelor and masters degree in education and a rewarding career in geriatrics on the Mid-Shore. It was this push to aim high that allowed her to also recover from a stroke at the age of thirty-eight years old.
In her Spy interview, Tasha talks about some of those life experiences and what motivated her her to write her first book on the subject, From Victim to Victory… I am Victorious.
This video is approximately four minutes in length Tasha will be giving a book reading at the St. Michaels branch of the Talbot County Free Library on July 28th at 6pm.
