March 2 – Tarana Burke

TaranaBurke

Activist.  In the wake of Harvey Weinstein being revealed as a serial sexual abuser in 2017, Burke’s activist group “Me Too” became #MeToo. The hashtag has become a movement of its own, acting as a way for those in the social media age to stand in solidarity with their shared experiences of sexual assault. She was TIME magazine’s person of the year in 2017.
