On this episode, we’re joined by Aisha Sultan. Aisha (@AishaS) is an award-winning writer and columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, whose column is also nationally syndicated.
Aisha is Pakistani-American Muslim, a wife and mom of 2 who writes to help people feel seen or heard and to provide perspectives people may not have heard before.
(Wednesday, August 14 is Independence Day of Pakistan)
One day she’s writing a commentary on J.D. Vance’s comments about “childless cat ladies” and the presidential election, another she’s writing about a college faculty vote regarding the war in Gaza. Another, she’s writing about a roaming cat that captured the hearts of the people in its community and another about the winners of the paper’s father-child lookalike contest. She’s a journalist and story-collector who likes and believes in people.
Aisha talked about the different types of writing she’s done, her evolution as a writer, and her foray into filmmaking. She gave examples of the work she’s done and how she handled reporting those stories or columns.
Aisha’s salute: Journalists who have died in Gaza and the Committee to Protect Journalists.
