Aja Hannah has written for The Independent, Yahoo News, AAA, Trip Advisor, Green America, and more on everything from business to op-ed to feature travel.

As a DEAI or sensitivity editor, she specializes in LGBT equity, racial diversity, and disability accessibility. She is the author of the practical guide Teaching with Equity, a resource for primary school educators on racial equity in the classroom.

She just completed a term as secretary for the Central States Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers in which she prioritized travel with an eco-tourism angle or human-first focus.

As a travel writer and parent, Hannah currently splits her time between writing, family, and speaking engagements. She believes in the Oxford comma, cheap flights, and a daily dose of chocolate.
