Aisha Adkins is an award-winning writer, speaker, advisor, and organizer who is passionate about building an equitable, inclusive, and comprehensive public health and care infrastructure. She earned her Master’s of Public Administration from the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies in 2020. She also became a Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) that year.
The organization merged with Love Labor Project in 2021 before closing later that year. Later that year, Aisha pivoted from direct support, focusing attention on advocacy. She joined Caring Across Generations, where she currently serves as the Training Manager. In this role, she organizes family caregivers, older adults, and disabled people to collectively transform the way care is given, received, and viewed in the United States.
A lifelong learner, Aisha participated in the 2023 cohort of Columbia University’s Age Boom Academy fellowship. Eager to serve her various communities, she currently sits on the Support & Education Committee for the Association of Frontotemporal Degeneration, and NEXTGEN, the global advocacy movement at Lorenzo’s House.
Her most recent project is Caregivers of Color Collective, a 501(c)(3) that will serve as a database for resources and services, and a conduit for conversations for caregivers of color. It is the intersection where culture and care meet!
