Robin Campbell

I am a native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina and have been involved with the NAACP for over ten years. I received my Bachelors in Political Science and received my Masters in Public Administration. Now currently pursuing my doctorate degree in Public Policy. I am currently working as a fraud investigator. I got my introduction into political and environmental justice with my father, Minister Robert L Campbell as a young child and witnessed the struggle for equality in sustainable marginalized low income communities seeking justice. I am also a member at large of the Carolina Black Caucus. I am excited and look forward to continuing the work of one step forward, not one step back.
