Asandi Conner’s journey with the Detroit Equity Action Lab and Wayne State University is one that unfolded in ways she never anticipated. Growing up in the historic Conant Gardens on Detroit’s Eastside and proudly graduating from Osborn High School, Asandi’s early years were steeped in writing and fueled by a dream of becoming a newscaster—a dream that naturally transitioned into a passion for journalism. As a student at Wayne State University, she chronicled the Black student movement’s efforts to establish a Black studies department, honoring esteemed professors like Dr. Gloria House, affectionately known as Mama Aneb.
This period of activism and advocacy set Asandi on a path of leadership, which later saw her contributing to the Nsoroma Institute and eventually stepping into her current role. A dynamic and thoughtful creative, Asandi reflects on how her life’s work has always been about amplifying voices, inspiring change, and championing equity.
