How Dolores Robinson Shattered Glass Ceilings and Managed Hollywood Icons | Part 1

How do you go from a tiny town in Pennsylvania to the top of the Hollywood elite? In this episode of No Boxes, Just Verses, Shannon Nash sits down with Dolores Robinson for a conversation way too powerful for just one episode. This is Part One.

Dolores is the first Black female manager in film and television history. She makes a life-altering leap of faith in 1974 when she packs her children into a station wagon and drives to California to start a new chapter. She founds Dolores Robinson Entertainment and guides the careers of icons like Martin Sheen and Wesley Snipes.
