Yolanda Hill Robinson
Second Lady of North Carolina
Yolanda Dechelle Hill Robinson (born 1968) is an American accountant and non-profit executive. As the wife of Former Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, she served as the Second Lady of North Carolina from 2021 to 2025 and was the first African-American woman to serve as the state's second lady. Robinson's time in public life has been marked by controversy.
