Alexis Nikole Nelson, known as “Black Forager,” is a passionate educator and forager celebrated for her innovative approach to environmentalism, connecting people with nature, and promoting sustainable foraging.

Her journey is marked by her deep reverence for the natural world and her influential role in fostering an appreciation for the environment.

Nelson uses social media platforms to share her foraging adventures, educating her audience about the wild edible plants that can be found in urban and natural landscapes. She actively promotes ethical foraging practices and emphasizes the importance of environmental conservation.

As an advocate for diversity in outdoor spaces, Alexis Nikole Nelson strives to make foraging and nature accessible to a wide range of people, breaking down barriers in the traditionally homogenous world of environmentalism. Her work encourages others to connect with the environment and appreciate the natural resources around them.

Alexis Nikole Nelson | Sustainable Forager

Her dedication to sustainable foraging, her educational outreach, and her influential role in promoting eco-consciousness have solidified Alexis Nikole Nelson as a respected and inspirational figure, known for her commitment to fostering a stronger bond between people and the natural world.

Whether it’s dandelions blooming in your backyard or purslane sprouting from the sidewalk, vegan forager Alexis Nikole Nelson is on a mission to show how freely growing flora could make its way to your plate.

With contagious enthusiasm and a live cooking demo, she explains the benefits of expanding your palate to include “wild” foods that are delicious, nutritious and planet-friendly — and gives three tips for helping others go from skeptical to confident in their own food adventures.

She takes audiences into the woods and to the oceans in search of edible plants to enrich their palates and the planet.

As Alexis would say, happy snacking, don’t die!
