Founder, President, & CEO
As a native of Cancer Alley, Asti Davis Robins has cultivated her career around environmental advocacy. She grew up in Alsen, Louisiana, a small community within the Baton Rouge metropolitan area that has been plagued with environmental injustice for over 30 years.
Environmental sustainability became an interest for Asti while earning her bachelor’s degree from Dillard University. Her forays into the realm of environmental stewardship have been notable, including undergraduate internships at GreenForAll and Arbor Day Foundation. While obtaining her juris doctorate from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, she pursued a tailored course concentration to earn a certificate in environmental law.
Over the past decade, she has worked with organizations such as WEACT for Environmental Justice, Foundation for Louisiana, and the National Black Environmental Justice Network (a project of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice). In these roles, Asti has heightened the visibility of grassroots and frontline organizations and communities, amplified the collective messaging of the environmental and climate justice movements, and expanded the channels for information dissemination to reach both decision-makers and affected communities.
Using her diverse technical and practical background, Asti is focused on contributing cultural and social competence to the environmental industry.
In 2023, Asti was recognized as one of Black Millennials 4 Flint’s “Young, Gifted, and Green: 40 Under 40 Environmental Justice Leaders” and Dillard University’s “40 Under 40 Alumni.””
