One day on my drive to work I was listening to the Unlocking Us Podcast by Brené Brown and heard one of the most eye-opening and enlightening podcast episodes I’ve ever heard. In the episode I listened to, I was privileged to be introduced to Tarana Burk. Tarana has been fighting the fight for racial and gender equality for close to 30 years and is the creator of the Me Too Movement. I can’t say enough about how this episode opened my eyes and helped me begin to understand the fight that women and people of color go through on a daily basis. Everyone should listen to this episode!
