Aisha K. Staggers is a Communications/PR professional, writer and politics and culture critic. She appears weekly on a newsworthy podcast with Laura "LaLa" Key, the Realty Goddess on the podcast "Primetime Saturday with Aisha and LaLa" on The award-winning, internationally syndicated The Dr. Vibe Show. Her work has been published by Paper Magazine, Medium, The Spool, GREY Journal, MTV News, HuffPost, Blavity, AfroPunk, Atlanta Blackstar, For Harriet, The New York Review of Books and a host of other first-run publications and syndicated outlets. She agented the book There Was A Time: James Brown The Chitlin' Circuit And Me (Post Hill Press, 2020) by Alan Leeds with a foreword by Questlove of The Roots and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 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 local radio station, ABC-affiliate as a writer in the news department and in the A&R department of an independent 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 as 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, is an avid campaigner, and has remained active in politics and public policy.
