“Foundations have to think outside the box and maybe expand past the usual suspec…” — Tarana Burke

I have been working with young people for more than 25 years.

Anita Hill thanklessly put herself and her career as a law professor on the line more than 25 years ago to publicly name Clarence Thomas for sexually harassing her at work.

I founded the 'me too' movement in 2006 because I wanted to find a way to connect with the black and brown girls in the program I ran.

I've done work in every area of social justice you can think of, but I've been highly focused on young people and then specifically black and brown girls.
