Are you hiding something? Does the secret keep you from connecting with others? Does the fear about being judged keep you from showing up as your true authentic self?

For years the answer was yes for Philadelphia anchor and reporter Aziza Shuler. That was until she boldly told her story on the evening news about her alopecia diagnosis and traumatic childhood. Aziza took off her wig and so much weight that came with it, and is now exploring a new season of freedom!

Aziza is known for her character-driven enterprise reporting. She has a varied background covering everything from local/breaking news, education, sports, arts & culture, and health. In 2022, Aziza was tapped to fill-in as Spectrum Network's Capitol Hill political correspondent.

Aziza began her career in Yuma, Ariz. It was in Yuma where she learned the power of humanizing the news. It's where she won her first Emmy® for her team's work detailing the reality of immigration at the Southern border during the Trump Administration. It's no small feat to get so much accomplished while surviving the triple digit temperatures and remaining vegan in a beautiful city full of delicious Mexican food.

Aziza attributes her grit and confidence as a journalist to her upbringing in Washington, D.C., and overcoming a childhood in the foster care system.
