Kiah invites listeners to be curious about the ways in which society systematically prevents underrepresented students from gaining the social capital they need to pursue postsecondary education and to build creative and effective connections between these communities and the institutions they seek access to.
Kiah Duggins was born in Wichita Kansas to Dr. Maurice and Gwen Duggins, who taught her the importance of social justice by dedicating their lives to serving underserved communities in the education and healthcare fields. As a young African-American girl who participated in activities that many other African-Americans did not have access to, Kiah became passionate about fostering diversity by tearing down the inequitable barriers that many marginalized communities face.She attended Wichita Public Schools and graduated from the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Wichita High School East before attending Wichita State University as a Clay Barton Scholar. Kiah has expressed her passion for building more equitable communities during her time at Wichita State by serving as a White House intern for the First Lady’s Let Girls Learn initiative, analyzing disparate impact data and advocating for gender-neutral restrooms as the Tilford Commission Student Diversity Task Force Chair.
