So fucking over the moon to have met & introduce @MeTooMVMT founder @TaranaBurke tonight for her @WUD_DLS lecture at @UWMadison. My voice broke as I read my intro bc of how powerful & important Ms. Burke’s work is to me & the world. 
Tonight Ms. Burke told us about her origins working with black girl survivors. She reminded us that the work has ALWAYS about survivors, healing & ending sexual violence NOT merely about “bringing down powerful men”
Her talk was moving. She encouraged all @UWMadison students to claim this space. She said this is YOUR campus. You DESERVE to be safe here & free from sexual & racial violence. Until we are all safe here the university is not living up to its mission.
If you know someone who is experiencing abuse, you are not powerless. You can help.
Over the next week, we will provide ways for you to support your loved one & interrupt sexual abuse wherever it’s found. Let's end sexual violence against Black women & girls #BelieveBlackGirls

You can intervene in sexually abusive situations by providing your loved one with a list of resources. They may not be able do this research on their own. #BelieveBlackWomen #BelieveBlackGirls #BlackWomenSurvive
Work with your loved one to create a safety and/or exit plan and determine what methods of support you’re able to provide. #BelieveBlackWomen #BelieveBlackGirls #BlackWomenSurvive #EndSexualViolence

Most black folks I know have posted about the docuseries in the last few days (thankfully black people in my networks are expressing support of the victims of sexual abuse & coercion though their posts suggest to me that is not the case with their entire friends network)
In contrast, nearly all white folks I know are not even acknowledging the docuseries, the #RKelly conversation, nothing. This divide/contrast reminds me that white people are not required to know what’s happening to and among black folks.
