About Me

Robin DeFleice is a powerful voice for reinvention, resilience, and real-life transformation. A poet, playwright, speaker, and author, Robin’s work is grounded in deep lived experience—from overcoming addiction and mental health challenges to becoming a homeowner, college graduate, and licensed real estate professional in her 60s. Her journey is a testament to faith, perseverance, and the power of second chances.

Through her books—Home Starts Here: A First-Time Home Buyer’s Guide for Women Over 40 and It’s Never Too Late: Reinventing Yourself After 60—Robin speaks directly to women who may feel overlooked or left behind. Her words remind readers that it’s never too late to start again, to dream bigger, and to live with purpose.

Robin’s creative works include compelling poetry, essays on race and identity, and plays that explore the intersection of history, injustice, and healing. Her writing uplifts the voices of Black women, highlights the struggles of those living with dual diagnoses, and celebrates the spiritual journey of restoration.

Robin is also a proud homeowner, a member of the National Association of Realtors, and a dedicated advocate for housing stability. She uses her platform to inspire others to rewrite their stories and take ownership of their future—literally and figuratively.

“I don’t write fairy tales. I write truth that breathes life into women’s dreams.”
