Tarana Burke Coins “Me Too Movement”

By Isabel Zou on Apr 29 th 2019May 20, 2019

[12]

The phrase “Me Too movement” was first coined by Tarana Burke, an American activist who created Just Be Inc., a non profit organization with a mission to help victims of sexual assault by providing them the resources they need to heal.[13][14] She created the organization in response to a conversation she had in 1997 with a young girl who was telling her about her experience with sexual abuse. At that time, Burke reflected that she felt speechless, and “couldn’t even say ‘me too.’”[15] In 2006, Burke started a MySpace page for the “Me Too” movement that she wanted to create.[16]
