Gathered for a fundraiser and dressed in far different clothes than we usually wore when we met across conference rooms, our conversations differed too. Earlier in that week in 2017, the movement that Tarana Burke started in 2006 had exploded onto social media as #MeToo in the wake of reporting about media mogul Harvey Weinstein"-- Provided by publisher.
