THE DR. VIBE SHOW - AISHA K. STAGGERS - STAGGERS STATE OF THINGS - MARCH 21 - 2018

Aisha K. Staggers has been writing since middle school. She had her first major publication in her local newspaper’s entertainment section while a sophomore in high school, a publication in another state paper followed. Aisha has been contributing to various paper, magazines and textbooks for over 15 years.

In addition to her time as an instructor of social sciences in higher education, Aisha has served as a director of education and policy research centers, and on the staff of legislative commissions. Aisha previously served on the Executive Board of the CT Young Democrats Women’s Caucus and has remained active in politics and public policy. She is an alumni of Albertus Magnus College and Fisk University where she earned Bachelor’s in Communications and Master’s Degree in Psychology, respectively, and completed the Education Policy Fellowship Program in 2008.

Currently, Aisha is Senior Editor for BookTrib, a division of the literary public relations firm, Meryl Moss Media and a HuffPost contributor. In addition to her own work, Aisha has written liner notes for a Prince tribute album, I Wish U Heaven released December 25 and available on YouTube. In 2018, she will be contributing to scholarly work on Prince and the Minneapolis Sound and sitting on an NYU panel for a conference commemorating the 30th anniversary of his Lovesexy album.

While Aisha enjoys writing about music, she feels the most critical discussions we can have today are centered around race and intersectionality because “you can’t fix a problem you don’t acknowledge, and not acknowledging the plight of women of color and specifically Black women is a problem.”

On this episode of Staggers State Of Things, Ms. Staggers talked about:

– United States’ Attorney General Jeff Sessions firing FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe
– Donald Trump Jr.’s affair and pending divorce
– Another lady stating that she had an affair with 45
– the death of Stephon Clark by Sacramento police when he was holding a cell phone
– Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitting mistakes and outlining steps to protect user data in light of a privacy scandal involving a Trump-connected data-mining firm
– A recent study stating that Black boys raised in America, even in the wealthiest families and living in some of the most well-to-do neighborhoods, still earn less in adulthood than white boys with similar backgrounds
