description

Antayzha Wiseman was born in South Bronx, New York City in 1999, and shortly thereafter moved to Lenoir North Carolina. She spent the first 13 years of her life there with her mom and sister, who she was very close with. She then moved back to New York City before attending university at Wake Forest University in 2017. As a student, she worked in the LGBTQ+ center as a student assistant, participated in many clubs and activities surrounding her identity as a Black woman, and explored her career aspirations. Antayzha graudated from WFU in the spring of 2021 with a degree in history and began working in Wake's LGBTQ+ Center in the fall of 2021 as the Program Coordinater, then was promoted to Assistant Director in 2023, and has been in that position since. The interview focuses on different themes such as Antayzha's experience as a Black queer woman, both in the south and the north, her interest in DEI and advocacy work, her family's influence on her identity, and most notably, the importance she places on the experiences of other Black queer and trans folks for her own story.
