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.
Laura “LaLa” Key is a powerhouse vocalist, livestreamer and active Real Estate professional. She has managed a major live-streaming App and teaches courses in social media promotion. When she is not busy making joke memes, cussing out politicians or cooking amazing gourmet dishes, she travels the globe recording and performing original music with her artist husband. Most recently the pair traveled to Rio de Janerio, Brazil and Porto, Portugal to perform vocal parts in the studio for their latest album release.

CBS News shakes up 60 Minutes: What comes next?
Dr. Tachi and Dr. Vibe™ analyze the recent organizational changes at CBS News and 60 Minutes, including the departure of staff like Sharon Alfonsi and Celia Vega. They explore the corporate motivations behind these moves, the potential for political bias, and the challenge of transitioning a legacy brand like 60 Minutes to a digital-first audience.
Dr. Tachi discusses the transition of laid-off mainstream journalists to independent platforms like YouTube and Substack. Dr. Tachi and Dr. Vibe™ highlight that these creators often underestimate the necessity of building and managing a community, which differs significantly from the one-way broadcast model of mainstream media.
Kevin Hart addresses backlash to Tony Hincliffe’s roast jokes “Stop talking as if I said it”
Dr. Tachi and Dr. Vibe™ address the backlash surrounding Tony Hinchcliffe’s roast jokes about George Floyd and Kevin Hart’s involvement. They discuss the boundary between comedy and being mean-spirited, and the panel emphasizes the importance of accountability.
The episode concludes with a strong emphasis on the value of independent, audience-centered media. Dr. Tachi and Dr. Vibe™ encourage viewers to curate their own news diets and double down on supporting independent creators who reflect their values and act with integrity.
