(She/her)
Robyn “Pocahontas” Crowe
is a founder and Co- Director of the House of Rebirth, a transitional home and community resource for Black Trans Women. A native of Dallas, Texas, "Ms. Pocah" also founded Transfusion Radio, an weekly platform connecting Trans Women of Color with straight and LGBTQI+ audiences alike.
Her incomparable capacities to facilitate common ground and culturally appropriate representations of her community has made Pocahontas the "go to" voice of Black Trans Women in Dallas/Ft. Worth (D/FW). With an extensive background in community outreach, HIV prevention, addiction counseling, program facilitation and management, Pocahontas is a devoted mother and daughter of many.
An advocate for Black Trans Women who engage in sex work as well as her sisters who are struggling with addiction, Pocahontas is a beacon of leadership and a trusted friend to so many forgotten Black Trans Women in the Dallas metroplex.
Her community trusts "Ms. Pocah" because they know she has been there and is willing to reach back to bring her sisters out.
Most recently, Trotter Productions of Dallas/Fort Worth recognized, celebrated, and congratulated her on her leadership, presence and service, selecting Ms. Pocahontas Duvall as their 2019 LGBTQ Trans-Woman of the Year.
