0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Manou Shumaroti here. As you may have heard, I am the new host of the Ted
0:04.8	Radio Hour and brand new episodes will be coming your way in just a few weeks. So while the
0:10.5	team and I work on those, I want to share some of my favorite episodes from over the years.
0:16.2	On today's show, we're looking at how the conversation on sexual violence and harassment
0:21.5	has changed in the years since me too. How the movement defined an era of reckoning

2:06.3	So I'm a survivor of sexual violence and had been grappling with my own
2:13.9	journey around healing, had been grappling with what that looks like and just and how it was
