This upcoming Monday, our amazing event will be moderated by NCCU School of Law’s very own Sloan Godbey (she/they).

Sloan is a first-generation q***r 3L at North Carolina Central University School of Law from Wilmington, NC. Sloan intends to become a human rights lawyer. They have interned at Durham DA’s office under progressive prosecutor Satana Deberry during law school and Sloan has loved being able to marry their passion for human rights and the criminal justice system. In their free time, Sloan enjoys running with their dog Sunny and baking.

In 2024, Sloan was honored to receive Pauli Murray’s Lavender Law Scholarship to attend the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association’s Lavender Law Conference. Later that year, they were elected to Pauli Murray Bar Association’s Board as a student representative. Sloan has been a member of NCCU’s OutLaw board since 2023 and is currently the president.

Sloan is honored to be moderating the panel this year and cannot wait to see everyone come together to celebrate q***r attorneys and national coming out day!
