Friends,
We have an exciting announcement!
@MeTooMVMT has always centered the survivor's journey. It’s how we begin the hard work of transforming a culture where sexual violence is permissible into one where bodily autonomy is universal. We must shift the narrative.

@MeTooMVMT has always centered the survivor's journey. It’s how we begin the hard work of transforming a culture where sexual violence is permissible into one where bodily autonomy is universal. We must shift the narrative.
Today, I’m excited to launch our Survivor Stories on a number of digital platforms, a suite of powerful videos produced with @DeutschInc that feature the journeys of individual survivors. See the announcement on Refinery29 here: refinery29.com/en-us/2019/01/…
When you hear #metoo often people envision a powerful perpetrator ducking accountability. Instead, we should imagine a survivor on their path to healing and what we all must do to clear the way. If we are more invested in following scandals, we will never truly SEE survivors.
We asked survivors to talk about their own journeys to healing. And they generously agreed. We’ve taken care to limit graphic depictions. We don't produce trauma for consumption. We’re proud of the work, but please don’t feel obligated to watch (or watch alone) if it’s too much
My friend @terrycrews talks about his experience in choosing to speak out. In his words, survivors are often silenced because they are seen as problems that need to be eradicated. He talks about pushing past that and I’m grateful for his bravery.
