Instant New York Times Bestseller"Searing. Powerful. Needed. " -Oprah"Sometimes a single story can change the world. Unbound is one of those stories. Tarana's words are a testimony to liberation and love. " -Brene BrownFrom the founder and activist behind one of the largest movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the "me too" movement, Tarana Burke debuts a powerful memoir about her own journey to saying those two simple yet infinitely powerful words-me too-and how she brought empathy back to an entire generation in one of the largest cultural events in American history. 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, her soul 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 vile rule breaker, not as a victim. She tucked one away, hidden 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.
