TED Residency

• June 2017

After traveling around the world and being a three time expat, Evita Robinson created the Nomadness Travel Tribe in 2011. Growing from a hundred people, to an international movement of thousands, Nomadness is a homage to the Green Book -- a community outlining safe spaces for conversation and travel for millennials of color. In this talk, Evita explores the historical context of African-American domestic travel in the US during Jim Crow, while bridging the gap to what is now seen as the 'black travel movement.'
