Alexis Nikole Nelson, better known as the "Black Forager" is a social media sensation.

And she just happens to call Columbus home.

She joins All Sides to talk about her eagerly awaited first book.

Happy Snacking, Don’t Die! is a one-of-a-kind collection of recipes and foraging wisdom that teaches you how to turn common plants, flowers and fungi into yummy, plant-based meals.

This unique book is basically two books in one. It is a foraging plant guide and a vegan cookbook. It's organized by season to guide you through a year of appetizing discoveries.

We will discuss the new book and Nelson's career as an internet personality. On Tik Tok, Instagram, and YouTube she shares videos about foraging, cooking, and food history.
