By Guest Contributing Writer Kris Wood A powerful and courageous memoir, Unbound shares the history of Tarana Burke, the woman who, among many other achievements, started the “Me Too” movement. The origins of this historic development, however, didn’t begin in 2017 when Hollywood actresses began coming forward. It actually started in 2006 as a place where women, particularly black and brown femmes, could be empowered to speak up to the sexual assault and harassment they’d experienced. It offered a platform for victims to not feel so alone, one where speaking their truth and telling their story allowed them to discover an unexpected freedom in themselves.
