Unbound : my story of liberation and the birth of the Me Too movement / Tarana Burke. by Burke, Tarana. Flatiron Books, 2021. Call #: 362.8830973 B959u Subjects Burke, Tarana.   Sexual abuse victims -- United States -- Biography.   Sexual harassment of women -- United States.   MeToo movement.   Women, Black -- Social conditions. ISBN:  9781250621733 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  258 p. : portrait ; 25 cm. Notes:  "An Oprah Book." Summary:  "From the founder and activist behind one of the largest movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the 'me too' movement. Tarana didn't always have the courage to say 'me too.' As a child, she reeled from her sexual assault, believing she was responsible. Unable to confess what she thought of as her own sins for fear of shattering her family, she split in two. One side was the bright, intellectually curious third generation Bronxite steeped in Black literature and power, and the other was the bad, shame ridden girl who thought of herself as a dirty rule breaker, not as a victim or a survivor. She tucked one away, behind a wall of pain and anger, which seemed to work...until it didn't. Tarana fought to reunite her fractured self, through organizing, pursuing justice, and finding community. Here she shares her extensive work supporting and amplifying the power of Black and brown girls, and the devastating realization that to truly help these girls, she needed to help that scared, ashamed child still within her. It was her experience caring for Heaven, Diamond, and countless others that gave her the courage to embrace her own pain. 'Unbound' is the story of an inimitable woman's inner strength and perseverance, all in pursuit of bringing healing to her community and the world around her. At its essence, though, this story is about all of us -- our possibility, our empathy, our power -- and about the leader we each have inside."--Jacket. Genre:  Memoirs.
