Network Navigator
As Network Navigator, Lexy Roberts helps accelerate the work and impact of Cradle to Career Network members in the Emerging or Sustaining gateways along our Theory of Action™, connecting them to information, resources, tools and peer connections.
Lexy believes that change happens when communities come together to leverage relationships and collective strength to challenge unjust systems. She joins StriveTogether after consulting for Seeds of Change Consulting, a North Carolina-based firm, where she led projects supporting local and national organizations. Her work focused on launching executive leadership fellowships, advancing equity by transforming organizational policies and practices, and improving equity-based outcomes.
Previously, Lexy worked with the Racial Equity Institute, delivering workshops on the structural and historical dimensions of systemic racism.
A seasoned nonprofit professional, Lexy is a champion for the collective impact model and place-based approaches. Her work in communities like San Antonio, Texas, and then as Executive Director of Cradle To Career Network member Alamance Achieves in North Carolina reinforced her commitment to these strategies.
Lexy holds a bachelor’s degree in public health from Elon University, which shaped her interdisciplinary approach to equity work. She lives in Durham, North Carolina, and enjoys the outdoors and exploring local coffee shops in her free time.

Share how one of StriveTogether’s core values (community, courage, equity, progress and results) is important to you.
Community is vital to everything we do. Many of us have countless stories of how community was pivotal in our personal success. Living in Durham, North Carolina, I’m reminded of the historical Black community of Hayti and its legacy as a nationally known hub of Black excellence and Black Wall Street. That sense of community is still deeply ingrained in the fabric of the city today.
I also saw the power of community firsthand at Alamance Achieves, where I heard stories of local mothers coming together to advocate for additional bus stops, supporting other working families. These moments remind me that our investments in community today are for the future of our children and the strength of their communities tomorrow.
For me, the common thread is always community, which is why this core value is so important to me.
