Tarana Burke

“If we keep on 'making statements' and not really doing the work, we are going to be in trouble.”

“What does justice look like for a survivor? It'll mean different things to different communities.”

“We want to turn victims into survivors - and survivors into thrivers.”

“What's interesting to me is that people engage survivors from a place of pity all the time - a place of sympathy.”

“I want survivors to know that healing is possible.”

“I have a lot of experience - not just with my 'Me Too' campaign but with survivors disclosing. I know that there is a wave of emotions that happens after that.”

“Social media is so immediate and in your face that I know many people have been helped and many people who have been traumatised by their entire timeline filled with 'me too.'”

“I think that Me Too is for everybody. I think it's important that people feel validated.”
