Nanci Alexander

Nanci Alexander, the owner of Sublime Restaurant & Bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, could easily have chosen a life of sipping martinis all day long at her local country club, or even on her own personal yacht. Instead, Nanci Alexander, ex-wife of billionaire and Houston Rockets’ owner, Leslie Alexander, chose a path less travelled. In 1989, Ms. Alexander, a longtime vegan and animal rights activist, founded the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF), and has volunteered as its president ever since. Ms. Alexander proudly talked about her animal rights activism, her founding of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF), her volunteer work as President of the ARFF, her 25 years of veganism, and her creation of the amazing all-vegan Sublime Restaurant which has been frequented by Paul McCartney, Alec Baldwin, Joan Jett and many others.
