The Color Within Me 		Janice Robinson

Born and raised in Garfield, New Jersey, Janice Robinson’s recalls her earliest memories of never quite fitting in. "My neighborhood was filled primarily with Italian and Polish families," she recounts. "In elementary school, there were very few black people. So, I was quite often teased. And life at home wasn't easy, either." Robinson's mother was a schoolteacher and her father was a Baptist minister. "I always wanted to be like the other kids," recalls Robinson, "and not the preacher's perfect daughter."

It was in the church, however, that Robinson discovered her deep, natural connection to music. "I used to sit on my mother's lap and clap my hands in church," says the singer. "I was captivated by the voices of the women. They were singing from the heart, and for God, and I could feel it. That's when a seed was planted in my soul."
