The Laverne Cox Show

Reclaiming MeToo w/ Tarana Burke

It was the fall of 2017 when the <a href="https://metoomvmt.org/">MeToo Movement</a> exploded. It seemed every woman on social media was typing #MeToo. The reality of how many people had experienced some sort of sexual harassment, assault or other violence shocked nearly everyone. MeToo was the charge that galvanized millions of survivors and allies around the world. MeToo = You Are Not Alone.The founder of the MeToo Movement, Tarana J. Burke, talks with Laverne about how the narrative has changed from focusing on the survivors to focusing on the guilty and how she’s working on reclaiming the original intent of the message. //Links:Book: <a href="https://brenebrown.com/you-are-your-best-thing/#close-popup">You Are Your Best Thing</a><a href="https://weasourselves.org/">We, as Ourselves</a><a href="https://timesupfoundation.org/about/">Time's Up</a> Please rate, review, subscribe and share The Laverne Cox Show with everyone you know.

Years ago, a therapist said in our very first session that there are only two things that we can truly control in our lives - our own perception and our own behavior. That's it. Nothing more than that.  Each week, The Laverne Cox Show will feature intimate conversations with folks who help me to see and think differently so that maybe I can act differently. It is my hope that this becomes a place that fosters perspectives that might inspire new behavior in each of us, which in turn gets us closer to becoming the very best versions of ourselves. Let's have a spiritual makeover together.
