In episode 11 of 'Black Broads Abroad' I interview Evita Turqoise Robinson. Evita has always been a creator in visual media. Yet, it was a trip to Paris, six weeks after graduating from Iona College, that changed the scope of her personal and professional life.

In September 2011, she created the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, an online social community primarily for travelers of color. NOMADNESS was the first of its kind targeting black and brown millennials, in the newly coined 'black travel movement'. The group currently surpasses 23,000 international members, with over 100,000 passport stamps.

From the success of the online group, Evita has garnered partnerships with top brands and destinations around the world. This also includes Issa Rae, who Co- Executive Produces The NOMADNESS Project web series on YouTube.

In 2018, NOMADNESS Travel Tribe hosted their first festival for Black and Brown travelers and our allies, in Oakland, CA. AUDACITY Fest is an immersive experience that celebrates and creates a safe space for discussions centered around traveling the world as a person of color.

Continuing to innovate the travel space has landed NOMADNESS in the print and digital pages of The New York Times, Travel + Leisure, Entrepreneur, The Daily Beast, EBONY, ESSENCE, and many more.

Evita’s accolades include National Geographic’s 21 Most Visionary Women Throughout Travel History, 2018’s AFAR Travel Vanguard Award, The Root 100, and being noted as one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 50 Most Daring Entrepreneurs of 2018. She is also an appointed Board Member of Conde Nast Traveler’s ‘Women Who Travel’ initiative.

She now serves as a keynote/seminar speaker, TED Resident, consultant for Destination Marketing Organizations, and continues her love of seeing the world while writing her first book and developing her own travel television series.
