Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement by Tarana Burke
Activist Tarana Burke has always been focused on helping other women who have been survivors of sexual assault.

The Bronx-born advocate details her own account of shame as a young victim of abuse, and how she has now found her path through empowering other Black and Brown young women to speak up. (On sale now)

A fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, King also dives into painful chapters in her personal life, including a closeted lesbian relationship that became the subject of a lawsuit. (On sale now)
