On this weeks Episode of Minding my Own Mind, we have Evita Robinson of the Nomadness Tribe! She is a powerhouse of a woman who stumbled into entrepreneurship and built an amazing community for BIPOC that is centered around travel and engagement.
In this interview with Evita, we learn more about who she is as a person and the way her identity and roles have evolved over time. She is a woman that represents risk taking, strength, innovation and being of the people for the people. Evita is clearly a creative, cultural entrepreneur and continuously blossoming into a new stage while still staying true to who she is at her core.
If you didn't know, in September 2011, Evita created the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, an award winning online social community primarily for travelers of color. NOMADNESS was the first of its kind targeting Black and brown millennials. The group currently surpasses 30,000 international members, with over a dozen regional ambassadors.
Evita’s accolades include National Geographic’s ‘21 Most Visionary Women Throughout Travel History’, AFAR Travel Vanguard Award recipient, The Root 100, and being noted as one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 50 Most Daring Entrepreneurs of 2018. Evita was also invited to the White House under the Obama Administration for their meeting of world's creative change makers, for SXSL (South By South Lawn).
In 2017, she was inducted into the third cohort of the TED Residency, and gave her noted TED Talk that June. Given her work within Black travel data research with Dr. Alana Dillette and Dr. Stefanie Benjamin of Tourism RESET, she is also a published scholar in the academic journal Tourism Geographies.
She now serves as a media host amplifying BIPOC communities around the world, a screenwriter and producer, keynote speaker, and diversity consultant for destinations and brands.
