From the founder and activist behind the #MeToo movement, Tarana Burke debuts a memoir about her own journey to saying those two powerful words.
What The Reviewers Say
Burke narrates this journey to healing so that each chapter—although they do build upon each other—can stand alone as its own meditation on a subject or an emotion or a focal moment...The result is that her voice as an activist now, post-Me Too, sounds no more or less fierce than any of her other voices, and it is clear that she holds each of these multitudes, these truths, within her still.
... a must read.
[An] unflinching, open-hearted, beautifully told account of becoming one of the most consequential activists in America.
Burke writes an important memoir that powerfully illustrates a deeply personal political movement and shows how hashtags and social media can amplify the reiterative yet individual tragedies that are perpetuated by systems and by individuals emboldened by those systems.
