Griffith-Knight, a New York native, started pursuing a degree in psychology at Winston-Salem State University in the early 1990s. She didn t finish her degree until 1999 at Fayetteville State University.
Like many Black women, Griffith-Knight learned braiding from her mother.

ELIZABETH CITY – Children who are allergic to peanuts learn that avoidance is the only way to ensure that even a trace amount of the problem legume doesn’t trigger a dangerous reaction that sends them to the hospital. As an extra precaution, parents closely read ingredient labels and restaurant menus while schools enforce bans of peanut snacks and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Removing peanuts and peanut products from kitchens and lunchrooms does help avoid the risk of an allergic reaction. But agricultural startup IngateyGen is researching an alternative: removing the allergens from peanuts. The Elizabeth City-based company is gearing up to test how CRISPR gene-editing technology can be used to produce peanuts that don’t have the most problematic allergens.

Because Democrats hold a slim majority in the Senate with Vice President Harris as the tie-breaking vote, calls to reform the filibuster have grown, with President Biden also endorsing the idea. But the Democrats still lack the votes to make substantial changes more moderate members of the party, such as Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, aren’t yet on board.
