“Years later, her health forced another shift. After returning from tour, she developed a severe kidney infection that left lasting damage. At one point, even walking was difficult. She remembers talking to her mom about how hard it felt just to get moving again. But her mother urged her to get up and “move that brass.” So she did.
Robin put out a call on social media, saying she’d be at City Park for a walk and could use the accountability. Ten people showed up. That was more than a decade ago, and it was the start of what is now Move Ya Brass – a nonprofit Robin founded that offers free, community-based workouts across the city including run clubs and dance-based classes like Zumba and Bounce Ya Brass. Different formats, different instructors – all centered around movement, access and simply showing up.”
