Although Robinson has interviewed before Michelle Obamathat didn’t stop her from adding Barak to the tag button. “I thought, ‘You know what? If she beats me, I deserve it. Everything will be fine,” she joked.
Robinson is also looking to expand her social media presence following the popular reception of her #ThirstyThursday posts and hopes to turn the hashtag into a podcast.
“I really enjoy interviewing people. I’ve done it a lot, whether it’s podcasts or interviews with Michelle Obama on her book tour,” she told us. “So I want to go back to that (and) kind of highlight these fun, hot people in a really cool, interesting way.”
