Derrick Robinson is the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Hearts with Soles, a charity dedicated to eradicating bullying with a special focus on preventing sneaker-related bullying among children facing homelessness and those in DCFS and foster care. Mr. Robinson founded Hearts with Soles to raise awareness about sneaker-related bullying and its negative impact on children’s mental health. Hearts with Soles aims to prevent sneaker-related bullying through its comprehensive shoe drive program, collecting new and gently used sneakers to donate to children in need. Leveraging his extensive experience in mental health, marketing, and education, Mr. Robinson sought to make a meaningful and lasting impact in the world through Hearts with Soles. In addition to supporting children’s mental health and well-being, Hearts with Soles is committed to making a positive impact on the environment. The organization ensures that sneakers that cannot be donated are recycled responsibly, resulting in fewer shoes in landfills and contributing to a greener future for all. Under Mr. Robinson’s leadership, Hearts with Soles aims to become a pivotal organization in the charge against bullying and in promoting sustainability, combining social good with environmental responsibility.
