FinalistBio
My name is Trinity Robinson, and I am a 24-year-old student from Chicago, Illinois, currently pursuing a certification in Human Resources. In October 2024, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which has prevented me from maintaining employment while undergoing intensive chemotherapy. Though this season has presented many challenges, it has also deepened my resilience, sharpened my purpose, and strengthened my desire to grow both personally and professionally.

To me, living my dream life is not that everything is good it is that everything is meaningful. It is a life where I wake up in peace, not that life is easy, but that I know that I am moving in accordance to that which God made me to do. My dream life is complete. By that which is within me is mended, by that which is upon me is clear, and that which pained me is now turned to meaning.
Cancer is not my present reality it’s a witness in the life of my dreams. I no longer plan days around chemo, drugs, or exhaustion. I walk in strength, in purpose, and in healing. I envision myself as an employee of Human Resources, certified and assured, in an organization that invests in people as a result. My dream role is more than pol icy and paper pushing; it’s about arriving to people just as people arrived to me. I long to do life with kindness, understanding, and professionalism most especially to those that feel unseen, unheard, or misinterpreted.
I also see drawing upon my experience to give others empowerment. I am writing books, releasing devotionals, and developing my faith-based platform that I have established to persuade women that live in seasons of hardship. I long to stand on stages, facilitate conversations, and remind others that restoration is available physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
My dream life is defined by more than a career. I aim to eventually be a wife, a mom, a role model. I want my potential kids to have growing up knowing a woman that did not give up when life became difficult. To know that strength is sometimes soft-spoken; it is faithful and steady. Sometimes, strength is about getting up into a treatment facility with shaky hands but unmovable faith. Still going around and encouraging other women that are experiencing through me such tenderness.
This is how it would play out in a vision of my life: I would be living life to the fullest, without bounds of what attempted to destroy me. The chemo chair is a far memory now but is something that still steers me. I am wellbeing in body and heart. Scars do not make me Who They Are They are evidence of survival. They declare how I did NOT only live through cancer, but how I defeated it. This is life on my terms: healed, perfected, and grounded in a sense of direction. I am taking what I've been through to give to others, create a legacy, and illuminate where God leads me. And even now, even as I am in the midst of it all, I think that life is already unraveling a step, a prayer, a leap of faith at a time.

Have you ever just had to sit and cry with gospel music blasting in your ear? Well, I know I have. The song that I decided to talk about today is "Won't he do it" by Koryn Hawthorne. Let's take a little trip back to the year 2019. I had just recently graduated high school and was in my freshman year of college. My music career was just blowing up ( I am known as a well-known local musician in Chicago "COUCH DRUMMER NATION."). My grandpa always told me that my gift would make room for me and that I was his superstar. He was my number one supporter! On November 20th, that day changed my life forever, and it was crazy because two hours before he had passed away, I was over there with him, helping him get his medicine together. He was doing fine.
When My mom and I got that call, I dropped. At first, I was in denial, but when the paramedics confirmed his death, I was heartbroken. The only thing to get me through this rough situation was that song. It helped me so much I got the strength to perform a musical tribute at his funeral, playing the drums to that song. This song is special to me because it inspired me and motivated me to keep going. With all the hurt and pain I was going through, I still managed to push through in school and accomplish a 3.7 GPA. God does everything for a reason; even though it may be rough at that moment, he sends comfort. As of right now, I’m doing my best to keep my grandpa’s memory alive and cherish it with all my heart. And when I do feel down, I play that song over and over. I have an actual recording of me playing the drums to that song on my Instagram: @c.d.n_trinn. Thank you for your time.

It is not often you meet a celebrity that you love and they give you something! My playlist is dedicated to Anderson .Paak not only does his music inspires me but he is very influential in my life. In 2019 he personally gave me a drum kit. Before I met him I was really inspired by his work through music it is really rare to see someone jamming on the drums and singing/performing at the same time. As a musician I was really grateful for what he did, he saw something in me and invested https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZ8nAJlRs2/. Thank You.
