From the founder of the “Me Too” movement, Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement is a powerful memoir by Tarana Burke. This instant New York Times bestseller takes readers on an intimate journey through her own experiences with sexual assault and the subsequent empowerment she found in supporting and advocating for Black and brown girls.

Burke recounts how, as a child, she grappled with the trauma of her sexual assault, believing herself responsible and afraid to seek help. This internal conflict led to the creation of two parts within her: one bright and intellectually curious, the other ashamed and broken. Through organizing, pursuing justice, and building community, Burke embarked on a quest to reunite these disparate parts of herself.

The book delves into Burke’s extensive work supporting young women, particularly focusing on the realization that true empowerment comes from confronting her own pain and offering self-empathy. Her journey is one of healing, growth, and ultimately, transformation. By embracing this power, she not only changed countless lives but also sparked a global movement.
