Stacey Marie Robinson is an author and publisher, piano teacher, urban culture enthusiast, and bona fide music and entertainment addict. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Jamaican parents, Stacey’s love for music and writing led her to the University of Windsor where she received her bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies, followed by her master’s degree in Communications at Wayne State University in Detroit. Stacey has also studied piano and music theory through the Royal Conservatory of Music, and Publishing at Ryerson University.
She started The Urban Toronto Tales collection as a childhood hobby, and developed into a personal mission: to record the events, culture, and people of her city through storytelling. She founded Kya Publishing to ensure these stories were documented and celebrated.
Stacey currently teaches piano through her business Robinson Music & Urban Books, and is also a part of the Toronto Revellers (Toronto Caribbean Carnival) marketing team.
Stacey will be sitting on panel on at Toronto’s Battle of The Sexes on June 24, 2012 in Toronto.

As our interview continues Stacey shares on how she get involved with The Battle Of The Sexes Show, how can we strengthen Black relationships, the frustration that Black women have with Black men and vice versa, where does she get her material to write her books and her thoughts on Black relationships at this time and where they can improve.

Across the United States of America, particularly in the aftermath of the shooting death of Mike Brown and the chocking death of Eric Garner, there’s the belief that the police are out to kill black men. In response to the ever-increasing tension between law enforcement and communities, President Barack Obama has appointed Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey to co-chair a Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Mr. Ramsey has less than 90 days to return a set of recommendations to Mr. Obama.
As all eyes turn towards Philadelphia, a special edition of Black and Bold Voices – a quarterly, online discussion featuring black men around the world and the issues that unite them, powered by Techbook Online and heard exclusively on The Dr. Vibe Show™ – welcomes prominent Philadelphians whose body of work spans the disciplines of policing, civilian oversight, advocacy, the prison industrial complex, technology and improving the public perception of black men.
In this edition of Black and Bold Voices™, the guests were: Kelvyn Anderson, Executive Director, Philadelphia Police Advisory Commission; Greg Brinkley, Retired correctional officer, Graterford Prison; Shakeil Greeley, a 21 year-old senior attending the University of Pennsylvania who was the organizer of The Trail Of Silence Walk; Anton Moore, a South Philadelphia activist; Isaiah Thomas, candidate for Philadelphia City Council; Journalist Christopher Norris, CEO, Techbook Online; and Dr. Vibe, international broadcast journalist, for a live, 1 hour conversation on “Black Men, Police Officers and a Post-Ferguson America.”
Our final conversation of 2014, “Black Men, Police Officers and a Post-Ferguson America,” will take a look at how and why cities should diversify its police forces, what training methods or oversight programs can be implemented to minimize racial bias in policing and what does community policing look like in the 21st century, particularly with the use of technology.
The program agenda was as follows:
– A panel discussion, “Justifiable Fear?: Is it open season on black men/Do black men have a reason to be scared of the police?”
– Interview with Shakeil Greeley, Senior, University of Pennsylvania. “Why are comprehensive databases for fatal officer-involved shootings important?
– Interview with Anton Moore, Millennial Advisor to the Philadelphia Police Department. “Is it time to repeal Stop-and-Frisk nationwide?”
– Interview with Keith Wallace, Student Actorvist, University of California San Diego. “Can Artistic Responses Change the World?”
– Interview with Isaiah Thomas, 2015 Philadelphia City Council Candidate. “What legislation should we be advocating for the aftermath of Ferguson?”
Black and Bold Voices™ is a collaboration between Techbook Online and The Dr. Vibe Show™.
