Digital Cover Story: Attorney Kendra Robinson Shares on Marriage to Yung Joc & Thriving in Real Estate & Law!

Kendra Robinson is a renowned attorney who gained recognition for her appearance on Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta and for being Yung Joc’s wife. However, she has also made a name for herself in the fields of law and real estate. In our exclusive interview with her, she opened up about her married life, the importance of protecting her peace, and her business success.

Black Love is such a beautiful thing. Share with us ways that you and Yung Joc maintain a positive connection and create boundaries.

Jasiel and I maintain a positive connection by intentionally dating each other and going out of our way to show each other that we are listening to each other. We create boundaries so that we aren’t smothering each other. Our work schedules keep us occupied so that we have time to miss one another.

We know Reality TV often puts so much in front of the world. How do you protect the sacred parts of your personal life from the outside world?

We just simply don’t share what we care about the world knowing. The goal is about discretion and understanding when or how much to exercise it.

In marriage, some often have an idea of how they want to be loved, and if the other person is not following that idea then we don’t feel they love us. How do you allow yourself to let Yung Joc love you in his own way?

I allow Jasiel to love me how he does because I like it, and he is very intentional about making me happy or going over and beyond to make sure that I have everything I need and want.

When they say Boss Lady, you are definitely the woman to have in mind for the title! You are not only an attorney, but you are taking over in Real Estate. How does it feel to see your dreams and goals take on physical form?

I feel so blessed and so humbled by the opportunity to be in this position. It took a lot of long days and nights (and sometimes it still does,) of grinding, so it feels really good. I thank God every day I open my eyes, and literally every time I think about it.

We as black women often have to be so strong. How do you take care of your mental health to avoid being exhausted?

I have simply learned how to say no, and to set healthy boundaries. I’m okay with everyone having to deal with my boundaries for the sanctity of my peace. If I can’t do it, I’m not going to do it. If I’m too tired or exhausted, I’m not going along with the status quo, I’m getting some rest. Having hard boundaries and making your physical and mental health prioritized is key.

Studies show that often Black women lawyers/attorneys experience gender discrimination. How are you tackling that in the courtrooms & have you ever experienced it?

I have experienced gender discrimination before, and sometimes I still do. What I did when faced with it, was simply out performing the particular person who was perpetrating the discrimination. I got a not guilty verdict from the jury on all counts on the accusation, in what was an otherwise “hard to win” case. I wasn’t arrogant about it at all afterwards, however going forward, I never had a problem resolving a case with this particular prosecutor ever again. This “woman” showed him. Laughs

As a Closing Attorney and Realtor, you offer classes and events often to help those looking to switch from renting to buying a home. Do you have any upcoming events?

Yes, that is my favorite thing to do. I have a few homebuyer seminars coming up at the top of the year. I will post the flyers once we get them all together. Most of the Seminars I do are in conjunction with a Realtor and a Loan officer so that the attendees are able to have a one-stop shop type of experience at the event. They’ll be able to get pre-approved on the spot, and one step closer to being able to choose your dream home. I will surely keep you all posted as soon as we get the details finalized.
