Early life

Robinson was born on April 18, 1988, in Los Angeles, California, to a Jewish mother and an African-American father.^[4] She has joked that her family "looks like the U.N."^[4] She attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where Robinson majored in musical theater. While in school she performed in multiple stage productions, UCLA's Awaken A Cappella, and received the Gant Gaither Theater Award from the Princess Grace Foundation-USA. Robinson also received a scholarship from the Jackie Robinson Foundation.^[2]

Personal life

In 2012, Robinson married actor Leslie Odom Jr., whom she met in 2008 while auditioning for a role in the musical Once on This Island in Los Angeles.^[7] Odom, who would later become known for originating the role of Aaron Burr in the stage musical Hamilton, served as the assistant director of Once on This Island.^[7] As Robinson would be replacing an actress who had left the production, Odom was tasked with ensuring that she easily transitioned into the role. The two began a relationship after the show's run ended.^[6]

On April 23, 2017, the two had their first child, a daughter named Lucille Ruby.^[8] On March 25, 2021, their son, Able Phineas, was born.^[9]
