Description
<p>n this episode of Mindful Mondays with Shudu, Shudu sits down with Ky Polanco and Aisha Becker-Burrowes, co-founders of Feminist — one of the largest platforms for women, girls, and gender-expansive people in the world, reaching over 25 million people monthly.</p><p>Together they explore what it means to build media that doesn't just inform but activates. From the origin story of a late-night college radio show to a non-profit platform that mobilises millions, this conversation unpacks intersectional feminism, the emotional cost of storytelling, how to navigate call-out culture with accountability rather than isolation, and why moving people from online to offline action is the entire point.</p><p>They also speak about burnout, the moments that tested their deepest convictions, the irreplaceable power of in-person community, and why — even in a world actively regressing on women's rights — everyone can and must be a feminist.</p><p>If you've ever wondered what it takes to hold conviction in public, build something with purpose, or find your place in a movement that needs all of you — this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p>
