Growing up she and her family experienced racism, which is why she was inspired to be a voice for the voiceless. She realized that her experiences helped her develop a sense of compassion and empathy for others who were underprivileged.
Upon graduating high school, Cobbs decided to obtain an associate of technical arts degree in dental assisting. She then proceeded to work as a dental assistant for 10 years.
She was then encouraged to look into social work by a friend. Feeling inspired, Cobbs started working for a nonprofit called Solid Ground. The nonprofit seeks to "end poverty and undo racism and other oppressions that are root causes of poverty in our community." She then worked her way up from being an office assistant to being a tenant rights counselor.
In 2017 the organization named her the Solid Ground's Social Justice Award Winner. Cobbs is said to be working to start her own nonprofit called Soapy Wheels. When you think Cobbs, it's hard not to think upward movement.
