Aisha K. Staggers had her first major publication, an album review, in The New Haven Register while just a sophomore in high school.
Another series of reviews published in The Hartford Courant followed. By the time she reached college, Aisha was writing for the literary magazine and interning at a radio station, a writer in the news department of an ABC-affiliate, and in the A&R department of a record company.
As a graduate student at Fisk University, Aisha asked Dr. Raymond Winbush to chair her thesis because 1) he was one of the most renowned voices in black culture and academia, and 2) he was a Prince fan.
His scholarship and guidance led Aisha to an early career as a professor of social sciences and later an administrator in higher education.
Aisha has also served as a director of education and policy research centers and on the staff of legislative commissions. She previously served on the Executive Board of the CT Young Democrats’ Women’s Caucus where she was an avid campaigner.
Aisha has remained active in politics and public policy and does a weekly podcast on politics, pop culture and current events.
