Last summer, Tanisha M. Williams participated in #BlackBirdersWeek, the social media campaign to highlight Black birders that followed a racist incident in New York's Central Park involving Christian Cooper, an avid birdwatcher. Inspired by the success of the campaign, Williams, a botanist, took to Twitter to explore interest in starting a #BlackBotanistsWeek as a way to bring together Black people who love plants.
