Tarana Burke

Tarana Burke is an American civil rights activist and the founder of the #MeToo movement, which seeks to support survivors of sexual violence and promote awareness of the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault. Initially launched in 2006, the movement gained global prominence in 2017, catalyzing discussions around consent, power dynamics, and accountability. Burke's advocacy emphasizes the importance of intersectionality in the fight against injustice and she continues to empower marginalized voices, particularly within communities of color, advocating for systemic change in how society addresses issues of sexual violence.
