Illinois Libraries Present: The Art of Foraging with Alexis Nikole Nelson

Registration is required. Please note that this program will be meeting virtually. Celebrate Earth Month with Black Forager, Alexis Nikole Nelson. A forager, outdoor educator, chef, and influencer based in Ohio, Nelson uses her platforms to yell, sing and celebrate all the edible plants hiding in plain sight. Through her search for freely accessible edible plants, she peels back historical layers on African American and Indigenous food traditions that have traditionally been repressed and empowers those living in food deserts with greater self-sufficiency. This event is made possible by Illinois Libraries Present.
