I create culture and community around plants.

​

Hola! I'm Samantha, a lifelong plant-eater, founder
of Plant Futures Initiative, and a culture creator and community builder on a mission to make plant-forward living feel like joy.

​

Plants changed everything for me - my health, my mind, and the trajectory of my life. Over time, I’ve learned something simple: culture drives change. And plant-forward living should feel like belonging, not sacrifice.

​

That’s why my work sits at the intersection of food, climate, and joy - creating a new culture through Plant Futures.

​

I show up where culture gets made and tell stories about what happens when food, joy, and community collide: from growing a global nonprofit, to backstage at EDC Vegas, to classrooms where I teach next-gen leaders about food systems. I’m exploring how plant-forward living shows up in the places people already feel most alive - where movements start and norms shift.

​

Here, I share the journey: founder life, plant-based education and community building, festival culture, travel and global perspective, wellness practices, and what it looks like to build a life on my own terms as a digital-nomad founder.

For the curious and unconventional, rewriting how we live and coexist - powered by love, community, joy, and plants.
