Face of the Week: Robert “DO GOOD” Daniels, Successful Actor, Philantropist & Author
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Tell us about yourself
- My name is Robert Daniels, I am an Actor/Singer/CEO/Philanthropist/Author. I am the Co-founder of the Do Good Daniels Family Foundation and the CEO of I Am Breaking The Chains. I have a wife and 4 amazing kids. I grew up in south LA and survived a life filled with trauma, abuse, and feeling as if I was a failure. I lost both of my parents to tragic ends and felt alone most times. But regardless of my past I found a way to push forward, unlock my power, and unleash my gift. I am an ambassador for healthy and communicative relationships between children and their parents, and advocate for breaking chains and dethroning barriers.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What is your favorite thing about yourself?
- My favorite thing about myself is how I tapped into my purpose and unlocked my powers and unleashed my gifts.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What separates you from others who do what you do?
- My heart, My mind, and My soul.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: How long have you been doing what you do?
- I’ve had the foundation for three years now and IABTC for two years.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they
be? Explain why.
- Heartfelt, Generous, and Influential. I feel that I am a very kind person, giving to people and putting a smile on peoples faces is not only my favorite thing to do but what I want to continue to do for the rest of my life so that I can inspire the growing youth to eventually do the same. I want to empower and inspire, and I will not be satisfied until everyone has the tools that they need to sustain and take their gifts, talents, and abilities to the next level.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it
be?
- If I could change one thing about myself it would probably have to be my age so I could stay in this world longer and continue to inspire, empower, and lead the next generations beyond their wildest dreams.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Describe your daily routine.
- I Wake up early so I can wake up my kids for school. We all eat breakfast together before they go off to school. My wife and I leave for work at the same time and I go to the office or to any meetings I may have scheduled for the day. I come home and cook dinner or assist my wife in cooking dinner. Then I watch tv until I fall asleep and wake up to do it all over again.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Who is your role model? Why?
I would probably have to say Barack Obama, Jamie Fox, and Martin Luther King Jr. These are all people that empower the African American youth and in my opinion make or made a difference in our community.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
- I see the IABTC company expanding to over 5,000 schools, I also see my music career taking off to become #1 on the billboard charts. Finally, launching a community resource center.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What are your hopes and dreams for yourself in the coming
10 years?
- To put my kids in assistant roles and be on the path to retirement.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: If you could give a bit of significant career advice to your
younger self, what would you say?
- Life is very serious, Time is ticking, Stop playing around and get serious.

DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What is the Funniest thing that happened to you in 2022?

DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What is your number one goal for 2023?
- By the end of 2023 I want to make it into at least 100 schools with the IABTC program.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What is your biggest regret in life?
- Not learning the information I know now sooner, If I had the knowledge I do now I feel I would have been able to become an even more productive member of our community.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Do you have a favorite quote? What is it?
“Whatever you lose, you will eventually find again. But what you throw away, you will never get back.”
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Describe your perfect vacation.

DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Tell me your worst joke.
- Why did the boy say he put the radio in the freezer? For Cooler Music!
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: What is your opinion on the kind of current music that the
artists are releasing?
- I honestly like all music and believe that it is a craft and I love creativity. However some music seems to be a little more over the top than others, but of course I do not judge because that is their pain or trauma and music is a way of expressing your pain. But hopefully, true artists will always know how to evolve by making their voice be heard for the greater good.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and
why?
- I would like to live in the Hollywood Hills. It has been a dream of mine since I was a little boy.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: Afro-Beat or Hip-Hop?
- I like them both but if I had to choose it would be Hip Hop because most of the artists I look up to fall into that category of music.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: New York or L.A.? Why?
- I would much rather live in L.A. because everyone I have ever known lives here.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: If you could thank two persons for everything you achieved in
life so far, who would they be?
I would like to thank my Grandmother Marie, and my wife Christi Daniels for always being there for me when I needed it the most.
DIZZYDIDDY+PLUS: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
