Born in Chicago, Stewart is an alumnus of Stanford University and University of Chicago, graduating with a master's degree and PhD in English. In 2005, she wrote her debut non-fiction book ''Migrating to the Movies'', which explored the correlation of classical Hollywood cinema and the African-American experience during the Great Migration.

She also collaborated with her husband Jake Austen on the public-access television series ''Chic-a-Go-Go''.

In 2015, Stewart collaborated with Charles Musser on curating the DVD set ''Pioneers of African-American Cinema'', which led to an appearance on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), alongside Ben Mankiewicz. She subsequently appeared at the TCM Classic Film Festival, and in 2019, Stewart was hired to host the ''Silent Sunday Nights'' programming block on late-night weekends. Provided by Wikipedia
