“We talk about sexual harassment in the workplace, but there's sexual harassment in schools, right? There's sexual harassment on the street. So there's a larger conversation to be had.

American activist from New York City

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.
