THE DR. VIBE SHOW™: AISHA K. STAGGERS & JILL JONES “WILL, CHRIS AND THE SLAP HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD"

Released: Apr 4, 2022

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 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, an avid campaigner and has remained active in politics and public policy.

Ms. Jones is an activist, feminist, and a former collaborator with Paisley Park.

Will Smith took the stage at the 2022 Oscars to smack Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair.

During this conversation, Aisha and Jill talked about:

– Watching the slap unfiltered
– Knowing your partner
– Few applauding Will’s behavior
– Viewing Will’s acceptance speech
– Will’s Apology
– The impact on Black youth
– A relationship thesis
