## Resource

Known to millions as the Black Forager, Alexis Nikole Nelson turned a lifetime of plant knowledge and a theater degree’s worth of showmanship into a social-media account that empowers followers to find food in unlikely places. She and Hank talk about the deeply racist history of land access, crafting hyper-palatable social media posts, and why she wants to throw her phone in the ocean — but won’t. Plus: Alexis brings a hot take on pawpaws to a lightning round and has a question for Hank in a new segment. Got a question or a comment?
