Meet Noami Grevemberg, author, creator, and advocate helping women navigate reinvention with courage, clarity, and heart.
Born and raised in the Caribbean, Noami’s journey has been anything but ordinary. After immigrating to the U.S., she built a successful career in environmental science until the weight of expectation and unfulfilled purpose led her to make a radical choice: she left it all behind to live and work on the road. What began as a one-year sabbatical turned into a decade of self-discovery, creativity, and transformation.
Living full-time in her van, Noami began sharing her story online, the messy, human side of starting over. Her openness about identity, mental health, and unconventional living struck a chord with audiences worldwide, especially women of color who rarely saw themselves reflected in vanlife or outdoor narratives. In 2019, she founded Diversify Vanlife, a global community amplifying underrepresented voices in the travel and outdoor industries. Her work has been featured in Condé Nast Traveler, Essence Magazine, and The Better Normal, where she’s celebrated for challenging the status quo and redefining what freedom looks like.
As her platform grew, so did her vision. Noami published her debut book, Living the Vanlife: On the Road Toward Sustainability, Community, and Joy (Simon & Schuster), blending memoir and practical guide to inspire readers to live intentionally and courageously. But despite her success, something within her shifted. “Before joining The Edge, I was thriving as an influencer and creator, but I wanted more,” she recalls. “I wanted to evolve from influencer to CEO to build something scalable and deeply meaningful that could change lives, not just inspire them.”
That desire led her to The Edge. “The biggest transformation for me was realizing I don’t have to grind or hustle endlessly. I just needed proximity to people who had walked the path and a community rooted in heart-centered leadership,” she shares. Guided by mentors and peers who challenged her to dream bigger, Noami gained the clarity and structure to reimagine her business from the inside out.
Through the program, she created Field + Fire Women’s Collective, a space for women in transition to rediscover joy, connection, and self-trust. “The Edge pushed me to go deeper,” Noami explains. “It taught me that service isn’t about what you produce, it’s about how deeply you listen. This program helped me build from a place of alignment and purpose.”
What sets The Edge apart, she says, is the community. “There’s no gatekeeping here. You walk into a room filled with legendary people who believe in your potential before you even do. The support, the collaboration, the heart, it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.”
Today, Noami continues to inspire thousands through her writing, podcast (Nomads at the Intersections), and growing women’s collective. Her work bridges identity, healing, and reinvention, a testament to living boldly and leading with authenticity.
Noami, your evolution from environmental scientist to storyteller to CEO embodies the power of reinvention. You remind us that when we listen to our inner calling, we don’t just change our path, we illuminate the way for others to do the same.
