Aisha Becker-Burrowes is a social entrepreneur, gender and racial justice advocate, and narrative strategist working at the intersection of media, movements, and culture. She is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of FEMINIST, a social-first nonprofit media platform reaching more than 25 million people each month, where she has helped pioneer a model of “media as movement infrastructure”—transforming storytelling into a powerful tool for civic engagement, reproductive freedom advocacy, and large-scale public mobilization.

Through Studio Watts, her creative studio and impact collective, Aisha brings together storytellers, strategists, artists, and organizers to shape narratives, build bold ideas, and drive social change. The studio partners with organizations and leaders while developing original creative projects that move ideas, culture, and people forward.

Aisha is also an organizer with the Gender Liberation Movement, a grassroots movement advancing bodily autonomy and gender liberation through direct action, media, and policy.  Across her work, she focuses on building narrative and cultural power to shift public consciousness, strengthen movements, and mobilize communities to action.

Her work has brought her to national and global stages, including the United Nations, Women’s March, and SXSW, and into conversations with political leaders and institutions working to advance gender and racial justice. She holds a Master’s degree in Media, Culture, and Communication from New York University.
