"Nomadness: The new tribe changing the face of travel"
August 7, 2015
S-Reagan Jackson; values social equality with a burning passion; is personally invested and dedicated to the topic of race relations (attends Black Lives Matter rally, often writes about racial matters, etc)
O-Lack of positive media about POC; December is typically a time of family gatherings, and this travel group reaches out to those feeling a "hole" in their lives, which they fill with a sense of community and bond over the experience of group travel
A-Young adults, poc, those interested in social justice matters, probably liberal/democratic, value equality of the sexes/races
P-Jackson appears to write this column to spread word about this emerging travel group and how its impact is deeper than merely seeing new sights. She is obviously endorsing the idea of community travel, whether it be through Nomadness, or another emerging group, Jackson emphasizes the need for POC to unite in something worthwhile.
S-The subject of this piece is the importance and value of POC having the opportunity to travel with like-minded individuals.
Tone- Jackson conveys her personal opinion of the Nomadness tribe through a tone of compassion and admiration (further analysis below).

Reagan Jackson's compassionate tone is conveyed through her appeals to pathos. Throughout the column, Jackson appeals to the feeling of isolation and how many people sought refuge in group travel: "I kind of thought I was a unicorn, a lone black traveler out here, but then here was this community" -Nacala Ayele. Founder of the Nomadness travel tribe, Evita Robinson even notes, "[people] have found an acceptance, a family, a home and understanding that they have not been able to find anywhere else in their life."
Through the inclusion of these quotes and her diction ("a refuge", "confessed", "feelings of isolation"), Jackson creates a tone of admiration towards Robinson's work. Her word choice portrays Robinson in a heroin's light; It is clear that Jackson personally relates with the cause and firmly believes that the rising trend of group travel is an excellent way to form a close-knit global community - people who "share an urban lifestyle and urban travel ethic."
Reagan Jackson's compassionate and reverent tone conveys her personal endorsement of the Nomadness tribe and the idea of group travel to construct a global community of POC.
