Speech Topics
I’ve spent my entire life building political power for Black people, women, and LGBTQ+ folx, and now I’m working to revitalize our communities, for us by us, through:
- Creative Placemaking
- Community Real-Estate Development
- Collaborative Buisness Acceleration
We CAN buy back the block, democratize economic development, and build personal, family, and community wealth, through the culture.
Biography
Aisha Mills (pronounced I-ee-sha) has spent over twenty years advocating for underserved, under-represented and under-resourced communities. She has fought and won campaigns from the front lines of some of the most consequential movements of our time and was the first Black woman appointed to lead a national LGBTQ rights organization.
Aisha led the marriage equality campaign to victory in Washington, DC, crafted federal policy during the Obama Administration, helped to elect hundreds of people of color, LGBTQ+ people and women across the United States, and recently ran for Congress in New York’s Hudson Valley.
Her advocacy platform extends beyond the campaign trail to media and academia. You can catch her regularly on MSNBC & CNN discussing social justice and progressive politics and she hosted a daily prime-time current affairs show on the Black News Channel.
Aisha was also a resident fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics and is invited back frequently to host seminars on identity politics, diversity, equity and inclusion. She continues to drive social impact and policy change through her consulting practice.
Aisha is a proud Terp (Let’s Go Maryland!) and is a trustee of The Century Foundation and serves on the City of Newburgh’s Strategic Economic Development Advisory Council. The most southern Jersey girl you’ll ever meet, she was raised in New Jersey by her grandparents who left South Carolina in the 1950s as part of the great migration of African Americans fleeing the Jim Crow south.
I hope to work again and again with Worldwide Speakers Group on the selection of our keynote and endnote speakers for our annual conference and other events. Our representative and her associate were terrific from my first communication to them until our speaking-event concluded... It is easy to see why many of the top speakers in the country work with Worldwide Speakers Group.
