Antonia Okafor is one of the country’s foremost advocates of concealed carry on campus. In 2015, she made a permanent mark in the second amendment community, when she became the Southwest Regional Director for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC). There she advocated for the passing and successful implementation of the concealed carry on campus in Texas law known as, “campus carry.”
The National Rifle Association (NRA) took notice of her activism and she starred in one of their “Freedom’s Safest Place” commercials, a national campaign that highlights the diversity of NRA members.
After taking several Leadership Institute trainings, Antonia joined LI as a Campus Correspondent for Campus Reform. In this role Antonia worked to expose liberal bias and abuse on Texas college campuses. A current graduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas, Antonia shows no signs of slowing down.
While focusing on her new organization, EmPOWERed, Antonia is also a contributor to the Independent Journal Review (www.ijr.com), a digital first, millennial focused, online news publication. This April, she will be a featured speaker at the 2017 NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta during the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum.
