Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I'm your host Ray Shasho. Music Legends Strawbs To Release New Album “The Magic Of It All” On July 14, 2023! SUPERB NEW ALBUM BY STRAWBS FEATURING DAVID COUSINS, BLUE WEAVER AND JOHN FORD British music legends Strawbs will be releasing their new album “The Magic Of It All” on July 14th! Recorded in Cape Town, the album features David Cousins, Blue Weaver, and John Ford from classic 1970's line up joined by some of the finest musicians and singers in South Africa. Strawbs were high in the charts with “Grave New World” and “Bursting At The Seams” 50 years ago which coincided with a pivotal moment in the struggle for freedom in South Africa, when students and workers launched a new wave of resistance against so-called “resettlement”. The resistance in South Africa identified with Strawbs songs, especially “Part Of The Union”, “Lay Down”, and “New World”. Recognizing this, South Africa documentary maker, Niel van Deventer, approached David Cousins with the idea of producing a documentary about Strawbs and the band's influence around the world. Niel wanted to film while new songs were being recorded in a Cape Town studio. David Cousins came up with a bunch of his finest songs; Blue Weaver flew over to produce the sessions and co- write some of the material, while John Ford joined in with his contribution to the songs from New York. Featuring brand-new songs recorded at the Academy Of Sound Engineering in Cape Town, with engineer Peter Pearlson, who worked with Paul Simon when he was recording South African musicians for the “Graceland” album.

THE MAGIC OF IT ALL The new Strawbs studio album was recorded in Cape Town in 2022.David Cousins, Blue Weaver, and John Ford from classic 1970s Strawbs join with the some of the finest musicians and singers in South Africa.   Strawbs were high in the charts with Grave New World and Bursting at the Seams fifty years ago in the early 1970s. It coincided with a pivotal moment in the struggle for freedom in South Africa when students and workers launched a new wave of resistance against so-called “resettlement”. The resistance in South Africa identified with Strawbs songs, especially "Part of the Union", "Lay Down", and "New World". Strawbs albums sold well and became highly prized. Recognizing this, South Africa documentary maker, Niel van Deventer, approached David Cousins with the idea of producing a documentary about Strawbs and the band's influence around the world. Niel wanted to film while new songs were being recorded in a Cape Town studio. David Cousins came up with a bunch of his finest songs, Blue Weaver flew over to produce the sessions and co-write some of the songs, while John Ford joined in with his contribution to the songs from New York. The album is called The Magic Of It All - 11 brand-new songs recorded at the Academy of Sound Engineering in Cape Town in Sep 2022. Engineer Peter Pearlson worked with Paul Simon when he was recording South African musicians for the Graceland album. The South African musicians on this album include Mauritz Lotz, Schalk Joubert, Kevin Gibson, Byron Abrahams, Simangele Mashazi, Marzia Barry and Luna Paige. Cathryn Craig and Nicole Tee joined the singers from the UK. David Cousins says: “The Academy of Sound Engineering is a college for training young audio engineers. We were surrounded by several students every day while we recorded, and they were involved in setting up the studio and lining up the desk. They learned a lot – and so did I. It was magic!” Blue Weaver says: “It really was 'Magic' working in Cape Town especially having such great musicians and an engineer who made my job very easy. It was wonderful also to see how the students reacted to our ways of recording live in the studio and to answer their questions. I‘m looking forward to seeing the documentary especially the "fly on the wall" video recordings that were made during the sessions.“ The Magic Of It All is released simultaneously on vinyl, CD and download by Cherry Red on 14 July. The documentary "The Magic Of It All" will be released later this year." Strawbs “The Magic Of It All” will be available on CD and vinyl.

Join Kim, Ednesha, and Marquia as they talk about the benefits of travel! When we talk about travel as self-care, this is not new for Black women. There are numerous stories of Black women using travel as a tool for a better quality of life and an opportunity for deep reflection. There are more and more Black women solo traveling and treating themselves (in ways they don't normally) due to work and family stress. Do you consider travel as self care? What was the most transformative trip you have ever taken? They say you can learn so much about yourself and who you think you are while traveling. Have you or would you do a solo trip? Where would you go and why? Does travel give you the freedom that you desire in your life? Do you have a desire to be free of the US and live abroad? Takeaways for women who want to use travel as a form of self care Try following a couple of black bloggers so you can get some ideas for where you want to go and what you want to do: @oneika the traveler- she encourages black women to travel, @hey_Ciara- gives great advice to solo travelers, @thesophislife- she shares affordable luxury travel tips, @willdrinkfortravel-she shares where to eat and get good cocktails while traveling Movements and organizations that focus on black travel: Nomadness tribe cultivates trips for the BIPOC community, Black Girls Travel Too curates travel experiences to enrich black women's lives and Outdoor afro whose mission is to get black people outside and building connections through nature.

NOMADNESS was the first of its kind targeting black and brown millennials, in the newly coined 'black travel movement'. The group currently surpasses 25,000 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 week, Evita Robinson, founder of the Nomadness Travel Tribe and Audacity Fest, and Jessica Nabongo, the first black woman to visit every country in the world, are back on the podcast, joined by Martinique Lewis, author of the ABC Travel Green Book and a Condé Nast Traveler advisory board member. Throughout the episode, they chat about how some parts of the industry have turned a moment into a long-term commitment to the Black community—and how others haven't moved beyond a black Instagram square. Along the way, they shout out organizations like the Black Travel Alliance, of which Martinique is the president, that have formed to support Black travelers and Black content creators, and talk through all of the voices that are still being left out of the conversation. (To that point, Nomadness Travel Tribe recently release data from its BIPOC Diversity in Travel survey, which features insights on existing and emerging travel trends among Nomadness's diverse community. You can check out the report here.)

Evita Turquoise Robinson shares her story of how a transformative trip to France for a film workshop would change her life trajectory and set her on a path to live in Japan, Thailand and beyond. She opens up about her experience being the only Black person in a small Japanese town teaching English but how some of the cultural exchanges with her students had a lasting impact on the rest of her life. Evita then shares the tragedy of losing one of her best friends in a motorcycle accident, but how she gained a guardian angel and permission to pursue her dreams. She explains the intensity of “reverse culture shock” when she returned to The Bronx, and how she founded NOMADNESS Travel Tribe to create the community that she needed of like-minded travelers of color. Evita shares her entrepreneurial journey of growing NOMADNESS into a business with multiple streams of income, all while creating a supportive community for Black and Brown travelers and challenging under-representation in the travel industry. She explains the importance of Black travel spaces, as well as the importance of acknowledging “intersectionality” around age, disability, gender and sexual orientation, and providing a platform for discussing diverse experiences within the Black travel community. Evita then talks about launching “Audacity Fest” as an in-person gathering for travelers of color before successfully pivoting to a virtual format as “Audacity Digi” after COVID-19. She also shares her experience in the TED Residency and what it was like giving the first TED Talk on the Black Travel Movement. And finally, Evita offers suggestions on how white people can be better allies. FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com

When we travel, many of us come back with more photos on our phones and souvenirs in our bags. We may feel a deeper shift within us. We have experienced things that we cannot unsee. We have to do better; we know we can. This could be as simple as giving more compliments to people, being kinder.   Or it could be enough to evoke a humanitarian career.  But ultimately, how can we make sure that we are helping, and not falling into the lens of white saviorism. How can we construct true conversations around areas that are in need without tokenizing them. In this episode, we will talk to travelers who were inspired to make the world a better place.  Featured Guests: Ray Blakney- Creator of Live Lingua, Anne Davis-Creator of Venture with Impact, Kat Najera- Creator of Manos Con Amore, Evita Robinson- Creator of Nomadness

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.

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.

Eight years ago, Evita Robinson started the Nomadness Travel Tribe as an online community of about 100 black millennials who shared the common interest of travel. Today, Nomadness is 22,000 members strong and in addition to orchestrating epic tribe trips to all corners of the globe, Nomadness also has regular meet ups and partnerships with travel brands that are just now catching on to the black travel movement. It has also spearheaded its first conference dedicated to the needs, interests and passions of its largely black female members. In this episode, Evita shares how her popularity in high school combined with her natural affinity for planning large scale parties sparked her mission to bring communities of like-minded people together. With the help of her mother, she nurtured her talent for throwing fun, respectful and well-executed events that people looked forward to attending each year. She also talks about how what was once a burgeoning movement a decade ago is closer to becoming the norm for many Black Americans. Since the fresh-faced young professionals who joined the tribe at its infancy are now becoming parents themselves, this next generation of “junior nomads” will have grown up with travel as such an every-day part of their lives that it will be only their parents who can appreciate what a privilege this luxury of collecting passport stamps is. Evita also speaks about the importance of taking trips that go beyond just flossing for the ‘gram. “I think every two years you should take a trip that humbles you,” Evita says. The key to finding freedom in any trip outside of American borders is to make sure she comes back “not complaining about the same shit as I was when I left.”

#Almost30nation! Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year).   In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her.   We discuss…   A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs) How NOMADNESS came to be Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country How Evita approaches building a community Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light How social media changed travel Evita’s relationship with spirituality The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR Creating safe + sacred spaces What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more | nomadnesstv.com Instagram | @evierobbie Twitter | @evierobbie Look glam & give back with Evita’s lipstick | compassbyevita.com Brass Clothing | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order at www.brassclothing.com WOO FOR PLAY | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at wooforplay.com Uwila Warrior | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off at uwilawarrior.com/almost30 FabFitFun | Use code ALMOST30 for $10 off at fabfitfun.com Mowellens | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off your first purchase at mowellens.com Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters

Today on the show, we have a woman who started a travel movement. Her name is Evita Robinson and she is the Founder of Nomadness Travel Tribe. Evita has always been a creator in visual media. Yet, it was a trip to Paris, six weeks after graduating from undergrad, that changed the scope of her personal and professional life. So 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 diverse millennials, in the newly coined 'black travel movement'. The group currently surpasses 16,000 international members, with over 100,000 passport stamps, and nearly 100 meetups a year, all across the globe. Evita has shattered the myth that people of color don’t travel. She is also a keynote speaker, TED Resident, consultant for Destination Marketing Organizations, and continues her love of seeing the world while writing her first book. On today’s episode, Evita gets into: How Nomadness started organically and she never expected it to be a business Why she doesn’t believe in 5 years plans and why you shouldn’t either Why we all need multiple revenue streams How she recovered from near burnout How she decides what’s best for her brand Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher and wherever you get your podcasts Links mentioned on this episode Nomadness Travel Tribe Slack Making Oprah podcast Steve Jobs “Stay hungry.

In September 2011, Evita "Evie" Robinson created the Nomadness Travel Tribe, "an online social community for travelers all around the planet, who have the similarity of an urban background and were looking for likeminded travelers to connect with around the world." What she did was kick off a new travel revolution, spurring thousands of travelers, the majority of whom are millennial black women, to pack a bag and see the world.    These days, Evie is laser focused on how to take Nomadness to the next level, from hosting events around the world to purchasing vacation properties and, of course, staking her claim as the mother of the black travel movement. This Fall, her first TED talk, in which she discusses the history of travel in African American communities from the days of Jim Crow and segregation to Nomadness today, will hit the web.  On facing adversity: "Sometimes the universe edges you into things. Life is really rough with me because I think it knows I can handle it. Sometimes it'll just kick you off the cliff and you've gotta free fall a little bit before you realize how to fly on your own." On her four-year journey to a profitable business: "I'm not gonna make money one way. I'm gonna make money 10 ways...it's all about diversifying your income."  On facing competition from other black travel upstarts: "It's about innovating and thinking outside of the box and staying true as hell to who you are regardless of what other people are doing in your space."

If you’ve ever wanted to lead a nomad life - traveling from place to place, seeing the world, enjoying the cultures and adventures of the entire planet - you are not alone. Evita Turquoise Robison was living the nomadic lifestyle long before she started a Facebook group around the topic - but when she did, it exploded. You can find out what it means to live a nomad life, why Evita and others find it so compelling and fulfilling, and what the Nomadness TV movement is doing to encourage, enable, and build community around a world travel lifestyle. There may be business potential in the things you already love to do. Evita Turquoise Robinson spent a year and a half traveling the world after graduating college, starting with a trip to Europe. She has since visited 20 countries and has lived on 3 different continents. Her love of travel and the adventurous life it provides has motivated her to share that passion with others. Over time she’s discovered that many others share the desire and enjoyment of travel that she has and she’s found great personal satisfaction building a community around travel and nomadic life. You can hear her story and be inspired by her enthusiasm and practical wisdom on this episode of Happy Black Woman. For greater entrepreneurial success, build a community before you build products. One of the lessons Evita learned almost by mistake was that the community she had built around the nomad life and lifestyle was an asset she didn’t know she had. When it came time to build products, courses, and actually monetize her passion for travel she discovered that the group of people who had already gathered around her were just as enthusiastic about her product ideas as she was - and they actually helped her build and refine her products in ways she hadn’t thought possible. You can hear why Evita says you’d be smart to build a community before you build products, on this episode. How to build an automatic focus group to verify that your product ideas will actually sell. One of the great benefits of building a community around your area of focus is that once the relationships are established the people in the community will help you know if your ideas for products or services are actually needed or wanted. All it takes is conversations or polls, posted within the group to get a ton of feedback about the ideas you have. But it won’t happen if you haven’t already built the relationship that enables your community members to trust you. Wouldn’t you like to validate your product ideas BEFORE you spend the time and money developing them? You can, and Evita Turquoise Robinson tells you how on this episode of Happy Black Woman. If you try to do everything you’ll accomplish nothing. As she has struggled to make her business work in the midst of traveling, Evita Robinson has learned that she can’t carry the entire weight of her organization on her own. If she tries, everything suffers in terms of quality and the most important things wind up not getting done because something more urgent always seems to push it out. You can hear how Evita has built a team that helps her run her business and the impact it has on her productivity and profitability, on this episode.

Since her first taste of Europe at the age of twenty-one, Evita Robinson (Evie), has been to over twenty countries and lived on three different continents. After a year and a half of traveling around the world, she put her degree in Television/Video Production to use, videotaping her life on the NomadnessTV web series. Evie came back to New York on a mission to bridge her love of production and a newfound need for travel. In September 2011, she created the Nomadness Travel Tribe, an online social community for travelers all around the planet, who have the similarity of an urban background and were looking for likeminded travelers to connect with around the world. Nomadness was the first of it's kind targeting diverse millennial travelers, in the newly coined 'urban travel movement'. From the success of the online group, Evie thrust herself into the world of entrepreneurship, and in April 2012, launched the business home for all things Nomadness and travel oriented, Nomadness LLC. The group now currently surpasses 15,000 international members, with over 100,000 passport stamps, and nearly 100 meetups a year. May 22, 2015 Nomadness launched the travel web docuseries, The NOMADNESS Project, Co- Executive Produced by HBO's Issa Rae and Evita, housed on her YouTube channel of over 200,000 subscribers. The continuation of innovating the urban travel space has landed Nomadness in the pages of The New York Times, EBONY, ESSENCE, Entrepreneur.com, The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Mashable.com, airtime on CNN.com and News One, Facebook Stories, NBC4NY, MSNBC's former Melissa Harris Perry Show, and as a travel expert regular on the tri-state area's award-winning PIX11 news out of New York City. To date, one of the biggest campaigns Nomadness has been featured in, was with Evita as a part of Oxygen Channel's 'In Progress' during Black History Month 2016.
