Robin Givens is an award-winning actress, director, author, and advocate for women’s rights who has been a powerful force in Hollywood for more than three decades.
Givens is a fierce advocate, in particular for women who are victims of abuse. She has encouraged them, inspired them, and lived a life that gives evidence to thriving after trauma. A career in acting has given Givens the opportunity not only to work with, but to learn from some of the most powerful women on the planet, including Oprah Winfrey, the late Cicely Tyson, Faye Dunaway, Alfre Woodard, and Taraji P. Henson.
Givens has appeared on the hit CW series “Riverdale” as Sierra McCoy, the former mayor and mother to Josie in "Josie and the Pussycats," and Julianne Johnson in ABC’s limited series “The Fix.” In 2019, she also took on the lead in the series “Ambitions” from producer Will Packer and Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network. She played Stephanie Carlisle, the wife of the mayor of Atlanta, whose true loyalty is to her family’s prestigious law firm, which she is lobbying to run.
After nearly 4 decades of experience and the depth of wisdom experience can bring, Givens made her critically acclaimed directorial debut in "Murder to Remember" for Lifetime Movie Network. She has proven to be a skilled and now sought-after director. Since that initial movie, she has directed two more and is currently working on a 4th.

Grace Will Lead Me Home
Robin Givens may be best known for her abusive marriage to the volatile boxer Mike Tyson and its cataclysmic ending. But in her vividly evoked, intelligent memoir Grace Will Lead Me Home, she makes it clear there is much more to her life. She recounts the legacy of life-threatening domestic violence that has haunted her family for three generations and how she has managed to survive, and, ultimately, thrive.
In this poignant presentation based on her book, Robin Givens shares her story with audiences around the country, urging men, women, and the African American community to educate themselves about domestic violence and put an end to the destructive cycle.
