Making it safe
GREENSBORO — Nyasha Gibbs, president of the Acceptance Without Exceptions gay-straight alliance at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, has her work cut out for her.
She’s African-American and a lesbian. She’s also on a black university campus. Obstacles don’t deter her.
She’s pushing to bring Safe Zones to her school.
According to The A&T Register, Gibbs said, “I would like to think that I had been smart enough or powerful enough to brainstorm and implement the idea off Safe Zones on my own, but that is not true … Safe Zones are implemented on grade school and college campuses across the nation. It was initiated by Dr. Maria Palmer of the Multicultural Student Center. I served on the planning committee for Safe Zones and also the student panels featured at the trainings. … A&T’s slow progression in a changing world has caused other organizations and businesses to feel a certain way.” They are not as eager to understand the need for Safe Zones or how they really work.
