Her focus now is non-fiction, as well as writing and producing for the screen – taking nearly two decades of international travel, community building, and cultural immersion to amplify the stories of those most forgotten.

Nomadness Travel Tribe Prior to the founding of Nomadness Travel Tribe in September 2011, Robinson featured her solo travel experiences on a blog Nomadness TV.

The Nomadness virtual community, which caters primarily to African-Americans due to a lack of representation in the target market for tourism and hospitality companies, is an invitation-only group of travelers which aims to build an inclusive travel community and making world travel more accessible to people of color.

In 2018, NOMADNESS Travel Tribe hosted their first annual festival for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) travelers. NOMADNESS Fest is an immersive experience that celebrates and creates safe spaces for leisure travelers, travel influencers, tour operators, and tourism professionals of color.

In 2025, the group surpassed over 38,000 members, executed five festivals, partnered with dozens of tourism boards and brands on an international scale, and positioned themselves as a hub for tourism marketing that spotlights the stories of marginalized communities.
