“LaKendria Robinson is a true MVP and someone I always want on my team. She is a natural born leader who excels in developing relationships and cultivating strategic partnerships that ultimately help create transformative change in our community. Her fun loving personality, passion for people and commitment to excellence is unmatched…I’m equally excited for Lakendria and our community with the launch of The Orenda Collective and I look forward to following the many success stories and social impact results in the future. “
Claire Lessinger

“Several years ago I had an opportunity to work with Lakendria on a major project in East Tampa. Throughout that time, she demonstrated the skill, ability and expertise to help us design, implement and launch programs that impact the communities we serve.

“The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.”
That is my favorite Vince Lombardi quote. It sums up LaKendria Robinson’s work ethic, leadership skills, and contribution to what will always be seen as an incredible Super Bowl experience in Tampa. She is a true teammate.”
B.J. Waymer
NFL Business Connect
“As the National Sales Manager for Mark Master Inc. (an MBE), It was my distinct pleasure to work with LaKendria Robinson during Super Bowl LV Business Connect program.
Covid changed everything. Ms. Robinson’s Covid pivot to Zoom, pod cast, social media, and other platforms, to keep participants engaged, informed, and mentored though the extreme challenges and situations cannot be measured. I feel strongly, the program would have fallen apart without her. It was her voice that connected Mark Master Inc.to the clients we were able to serve during the event. She put together a list of Tampa Bay manufacturers and suppliers at a moment’s notice to keep the Covid needs for the event local. Remarkable!
She is fearless, tireless, driven, and a force for the change we need to see in the world.”
Dena Perez-Curbelo
National Sales Manager | Mark Master Inc.
“LaKendria Robinson is a rock star with an incredible skill set and we were very fortunate to have her as part of our leadership team for our hometown’s fifth Super Bowl. Her relationships, communication skills and strategic thinking are second to none. We could not be more excited to work with LaKendria and The Orenda Collective moving forward to continue to have a significant impact on our community.”
