Tarana Burke is an American activist from New York City, known for starting the Me Too movement. She began the work in 2006 through a youth program for junior and high school students. Burke launched Me Too to confront the widespread sexual violence affecting her community. In 2017, #MeToo spread into a global movement after Alyssa Milano urged women to use the phrase online in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein abuse cases.
