Social media civil rights activist Tarana Burke wants you to know that on some days she feels BIG, BLACK and POWERFUL.
Burke, 45, is best known for coining the phrase “Me Too” to combat unwanted sexual advances and sexual assaults from men in the workplace and in public.
The Bronx native was sexually assaulted in the housing projects where she lived as a child and again as a teenager.
The #MeToo hashtag took on new meaning in 2017 following the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations.
Burke is paid to make public speeches around the country about sexual harassment and she is also Senior Director at Girls for Gender Equality in Brooklyn.
