4. Kaia Niambi Shivers
Adjunct Professor, Rutgers University
- What she covers: Her perspective as an educator, along with commentary on media, technology and life as the co-owner of a small business.
- Why she called adjuncts the Walmart workers of education: "While adjunct professors are the backbone of many colleges and universities, they are severely underpaid, under-insured, under-respected, and exploited," she wrote.
- Post she's proudest of: 3 Months After We Married, We Started a Business and Almost Lost Everything
- Why she likes it: "It was a raw piece about very challenging times and personal issues I still work on. Writing this piece allowed me to reflect without interruptions or trepidation. This article affirmed and confirmed that this world needs more stories that nourish us."
- Get inspired: She just kicked off “12 Days of Dopeness," a new series on LinkedIn highlighting the "dopest people I know doing some really dope things."
