The Pilot

This heavy year has brought host Noami Grevemberg and season 1 co-host Anaïs Monique incredible growth, with insightful breakthroughs, profound solidarity and an expanding BIPOC nomadic community. This year has also brought us to tears with violence, microaggressions and burn-out.  In our pilot episode, Noami and Anaïs sit down and get real with each other like never before. Noami, a former coastal biologist, and Anaïs, a former flight attendant, explore how nomadism has affected their sense of community.  Throwing it all the way back to Q3 of 2019, they compare notes on how the founding of Diversify Vanlife literally shifted culture and visibility for BIPOC on the road. How the Uprising of 2020 exposed our roles in the Revolution as well as the holes in our self-care routines. They also speak on what it means to travel slowly in a Eurocentric country where capitalistic values are the measure of success. In this proper introduction, get to know our hosts as they weave through key moments in their journeys: what it looked like to take major risks as Black women and what led them to embracing nomadic life and ultimately, to hosting Nomads at the Intersections podcast.  SOCIALS Podcast @nomadsattheintersectionspod [https://www.instagram.com/nomadsattheintersectionspod/] Community @diversify.vanlife [https://www.instagram.com/diversify.vanlife/] Host @irietoaurora [https://www.instagram.com/irietoaurora/] Co-Host @anaismoniq [https://www.instagram.com/anaismoniq/] Stay tuned for re-launch of Nomads at the Intersections, coming this Summer, 2024.
