Robin Muldor-Engram lived 15 years in foster homes in low socioeconomic areas, and attended subpar schools. Her journey with child protective services began in a home for girls. She was often humiliated and mistreated. When she turned 7.5 years old, Robin was placed in a second home where she and her three brothers could live together. Tragically, in this home, she would be molested. At age 10, she was placed in a third and final home, a place where she would eventually feel a sense of security and stability. Robin's tumultuous childhood became the foundation for which her entire career is dedicated to working with and on behalf of children. She has a deeper empathy for marginalized, underserved, and/ or mistreated children. As an adolescent, Robin was determined to rise above her circumstances, refusing to be shamed or made to feel guilty about the neglect and abuse she suffered at the hands of adults. She was not consumed with pain, instead , she was driven with purpose and determination as she sought serenity on the road to success. In 1989, two years after completing her undergraduate studies, Robin was hired as a youth service worker, and  began using her voice to advocate on behalf of all children. 

Robin is a native Philadelphian and after  receiving her degree in Business Administration from Livingstone College, she went on to earn a Masters in Education from Saint Joseph's University. Her second Masters degree was in Library Science & Technology from Drexel University, and  she worked as Supervisor /Children’s Librarian at the Overbrook Park Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia.  Robin was applauded for her well attended programs and outreach efforts in the community, awarded both, the Free Library of Philadelphia’s Customer Service Award, and the Pennsylvania Library Association’s Best Practices Award.  She  partnered with Delta Services Support Inc., receiving a Leeway Arts and Change Grant and additional funding from the Philadelphia Activity Fund to create a mentorship/literacy workshop for children and youth in foster care.

Robin writes about educational justice for children as well as professional book reviews and other commentary and blogs. You can follow her on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Peaches and Sourcream, Inc. was established in August 2017 out of the pain, turned passion, of our Founder and CEO, Robin Muldor- Engram. Our greatest commitment is to improve upon the childhood experiences of children living in neighborhoods , apparently, with invisible zip codes. We strive to reach children who are unfairly labeled as unable to learn. Our first step is our  philanthropic efforts to raise funds to reduce barriers to learning. These funds are used to provide school supplies, uniforms, new to gently used clothing, food, and toys. Next , and most important, we use a  hands- on approach to effect change,  going into schools and other child-centered establishments, meeting students where they are, and bringing them to the realm of excellence through our literacy and intervention activities.
