Nile Malloy brings nearly three decades of experience as an interdisciplinary strategist working at the intersections of race, class, gender, education, and the environment. His work spans the nonprofit, public, philanthropic, and private sectors—advancing social, climate, and economic development initiatives both across the U.S. and internationally.

He has held leadership roles with Communities for a Better Environment, California Environmental Justice Alliance, Climate Justice Alliance, Rainforest Action Network, Artisan Hub, and the Neighborhood Funders Group. Through these positions, Nile has contributed to major efforts in climate policy, environmental sustainability, community development, and social equity—across the United States, the Caribbean, and Africa. At Neighborhood Funders Group, he partnered with philanthropic leaders to seed multi-million-dollar collaborative funds focused on public policy, affordable housing, climate resilience, and grassroots power building.

In 2025, Nile launched Obsidian Edge, a rebranded coaching and consulting practice dedicated to building a future where resources are distributed equitably, and systems reflect justice, liberation, healing, and cooperation. Obsidian Edge co-creates innovative models with individuals, institutions, and communities—rooted in mutual care and grounded in the belief that collective well-being is essential to transformation. Through leadership coaching, strategic facilitation, and community-rooted consulting, Nile helps design self-determined futures aligned with just transition, sustainability, and liberatory imagination.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Sustainability and African American Studies from the University of Michigan, and a Master’s in Anthropology and Social Change from the California Institute of Integral Studies, with a focus on Gender, Ecology, and Postcolonial Studies. His worldview is deeply shaped by Black feminist and diasporic thought traditions that center the interconnection of healing and freedom, land and liberation, and spirit and strategy.

As a wellness advocate, life coach, and social entrepreneur, Nile practices a form of holistic leadership rooted in ancestral knowledge and postcolonial healing traditions. His coaching and facilitation focus on helping individuals and teams build emotional intelligence, restore internal balance, and lead with accountability and care. He facilitates trainings on power dynamics in the workplace, men’s health, and leadership development—particularly supporting men navigating life transitions such as divorce, fatherhood, and healing from patriarchal conditioning.

Beyond his professional work, Nile is a sacred earth enthusiast and creative writer, currently completing his debut novel, Obsidian Resurrection—a Black futurist, sci-fi family-centered thriller exploring power, healing, and transformation. He is also preparing to launch a Substack blog that weaves together stories, humor, ancestral wisdom, and personal reflection.

Above all, Nile cherishes his role as a father to his daughter and two teenage sons. He finds deep purpose in co-parenting and building community-based support systems that embody care, wholeness, and accountability.

His vision? A world where food grows in backyards, on rooftops, and every block got greens. Where needs get met local—no middleman, no gatekeepers, less Amazon. Creativity stays lit, culture’s amplified, and the hood’s genius shines. Community care claps back at violence. Empire crumbles, fascism gets checked, and the economy flips—flowin’ to the people, not just the rich. Beloved community is not a dream—it’s the baseline. Built through restoration, real cooperation, transformation, care and joy that hits like a classic reggae beat.
