Her story

Her story, in her words

Danielle speaking into a microphone at a podium marked Bethany Children's Health Center.

Danielle Robinson is a self-advocate, speaker, emcee, and performer — born with Down syndrome, and a cancer survivor.

I became a public speaker because I was inspired by my sister Ashleigh, who was Miss Oklahoma.

Danielle Robinson

Recent stages include co-emceeing for Dale Rogers Training Center and the Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma, and introducing guests like Kelli O'Hara and Darci Lynne.

A bit more about her Less

Add to that documentaries, commercials, calendars, fashion shows, and interviews led for schools and organizations.

Away from the stage: time with friends and her nephew, volunteering at St. Luke's Methodist Church, and never missing WWE or Dancing with the Stars.

As a former patient of Bethany Children's, it has been an honor to watch her continue her journey and use her voice to inspire others.

When Danielle recently shared her story as a speaker at one of our community luncheons, she inspired everyone in the room with her courage, positivity and determination. Her story is powerful, but what makes Danielle truly special is her willingness to share that story, advocate for others and remind us all of the incredible potential within every person.

As both a participant in the film and a member of our panel discussion, she shared her experiences in a way that was thoughtful, engaging, and deeply impactful.
