Nomadness Fest continues to set the bar for what a travel conference can and should be. One of the reasons Iāve put so many people onto Nomadness Travel Tribe over the years is because Evita Turquoise Robinson has not only built an incredibly dope community, but she consistently chooses to center the issues that really matter, highlight intersectional power dynamics, lift up marginalized stories, and empower travelers to āactā on the world as we move through it. From the start of the genocide in Palestine, Nomadness was one of very few travel communities that clearly, publicly, and consistently spoke out. This year, I was deeply honored to be invited to speak on the Keynote Panel about Travel and Activism alongside the amazing Imani Bashir. (There was no coordination on the outfits, BTW, we both just knew the uniform: All Black + Kuffiyah šµšøš). You can join the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe Facebook Group and attend a future event to see why this is such a special community, why Iāve chosen to interview so many members on The Maverick Show Podcast , and why Iām truly grateful to be a part of it.
