Brooke Axtell is a human rights activist, writer, speaker, and performing artist recognized for her advocacy in the movement to end gender-based violence.

She has since dedicated her career to using storytelling, poetry, and public advocacy to address trauma and promote healing.
Axtell was featured in a segment at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, delivering a spoken word performance following a speech by U.S. President Barack Obama on domestic violence and preceding a performance by singer Katy Perry dedicated to domestic violence victims.

She is the recipient of the Phyllis Smart Young Prize for Poetry, and her poetry collection, "Daughter of the Burning," was nominated for the Violet Crown Award by the Texas Writer's League. As a singer and poet, she has released three albums and two collections of poetry, furthering her impact in the fields of trauma recovery and survivor advocacy.
Axtell is the founder and director of She is Rising, a healing community for women and girls overcoming rape, abuse, and sex trafficking. Through mentorship programs, retreats, and workshops, she supports survivors in developing leadership skills. As director of the Survivor Healing and Empowerment Program at SAFE Alliance, Axtell has developed support services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
