About

In September 2011, Evita Turquoise Robinson 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 29,000 international members, with over thirty regional Ambassadors. 

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

In 2018, NOMADNESS Travel Tribe hosted their first festival for black and brown travelers, and our allies. NOMADNESS Fest is an immersive experience that celebrates and creates a safe space for discussions centered around traveling the world as a person of color. The physical festival has taken place in Oakland, Ca.; Memphis, Tn., and in 2020 pivoted into a quarterly, highly curated online experience.

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).   

She now serves as a Media host amplifying BIPOC communities around the world,  keynote speaker, and DEI consultant for Destinations and Brands.
