Aziza Shuler is the Weekend Morning Anchor and Reporter at CBS News New York. Before arriving in New York, Aziza served as the weekend evening anchor and reporter at CBS News Philadelphia. In September 2023, during Alopecia Awareness Month, she courageously shared her own journey with alopecia on air in Philly - a moment that resonated widely with viewers both locally and nationally. Her series on the topic went on to earn a National Association of Black Journalists Award and an Emmy nomination. In 2025, the City of Philadelphia recognized Aziza as a Woman of Excellence, honoring her with citation from the city council. That same year, Aziza had the privilege of reporting live from Broad Street as thousands of fans celebrated the moment the Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LIX. Aziza began her career in Yuma, Arizona, covering everything from immigration at the southern border and agriculture to military affairs. It was there she won her first Emmy Award. She later worked as multimedia journalist in Los Angeles, producing hundreds of character-driven stories rooted in community impact. In 2022, she spent several months on Capitol Hill covering California politics as one of Spectrum News' political correspondents. While in Washington, D.C., Aziza covered President Joe Biden's first State of the Union address and the historic nomination of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. A proud Washington, D.C., native, Aziza credits her resilience and compassion to her upbringing and her experiences growing up in the foster care system. Those early challenges inspired her lifelong mission to mentor and empower young people. Aziza graduated from St. John's University in New York City with a B.S. in Communications and also attended UCLA. Returning to New York feels like a true full-circle moment as her first and only internship during college was at 1010 WINS. When she's not on the air, Aziza enjoys volunteering with youth programs, exploring vegan cuisine, and watching documentaries.
