Robin E. Kitson has been telling stories for over 20 years. She is known for her personal tall tales, civil rights and women’s historical stories, Cajun folktales, motivational stories, and international folktales.
Robin Kitson can inspire, motivate, and educate
Her repertoire spans high schoolers to adults. She can shape a tale to carry any message you want. For more than 23 years, storytelling has been her Technicolor home, where imagination, wisdom, and heart meet.
Robin grew up in New Orleans, where stories don’t just get told — they wander the streets like friendly ghosts, curl up on porch swings, and hitch rides on river fog. In a city stitched together with music, myth, and the bold bite of chicory coffee, she soaked up joie de vivre the way other kids soaked up sunshine.
Her life has pinballed across extremes: from living in a tin shack on Guam to running the Energy Savings Programs for the Air Force and National Guard. She wrangled spreadsheets and generals with equal charm. Robin began as the first female power plant electrician and went on to become the first woman in four other Energy Engineering roles, each more complex than the last. Through every challenge, her motto stayed steady:
Perseverance is the price of success
Robin’s mind is a kaleidoscope in perpetual motion. Ideas tumble, collide, and sparkle. Humor slips out of her before she even knows it’s coming. She sees stories tucked inside people like secret notes, especially in the ones the world shrugs off as those people
. She listens, she learns, and she spins everything into poems, tales, and bright bursts of imagination.

“Robin is a really amazing storyteller. She entertained a group of children, five to eleven-year-olds, with several fables that would be appropriate in schools, churches, and civic groups. I was most impressed with her ability to get the children actively participating in the storytelling through repetitive phrases and asking questions that really engaged the children in the story. She managed a group that can be highly talkative and energetic like a pro!”
-Libby Stephens, Pullen Memorial Baptist Church
Robin did a fantastic job during a video chat with two different classes!
Her stories tied in perfectly with our curriculum and she was able to captivate her audience of 2nd graders and staff members with her engaging version of the stories.
