Author of Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals, Alexis discusses how colonialism, enslavement and the plantation economy resulted in the extinction of the Caribbean monk seal. Alexis also talks about her forthcoming biography of Audre Lorde and deep diving into Lorde’s life and love of geology.
