Few movements have catalyzed action or called us to attention more over the last several

years than me too.

It has spoken to the often unspoken dynamics of power, violence and sexual abuse that

seem to flow just underneath what many of us call reality.

Toronto Berk coined the term me too and in that was conjuring the possibility of belonging

beyond shame, in a sense of safety that could be collective.

It has been a way to tell the truth and to join the near majority of people who shared

silently a similar pain.

Me too as a movement has created seismic shifts, shaking whole industries, moving through

companies and through relationships, ushering us to make a stand against violence and exploitation

and towards healing.

Our responses to the movement and the hashtag also reveal so much to us about power and

how it shapes who we listen to.

How we define me too, who we see as its leaders and who we hold at the center of it has as

much to do with power and privilege as the issue at hand.

Toronto Berk is a longtime organizer, committed to racial justice and ending sexual violence.

She has for decades worked to make it possible for young black girl survivors to tell their

stories and ultimately to heal.

These experiences sit at the very root and center of how and why she does her work.

This interview is the more intimate side of a heartfelt and generous leader who has

never forgotten the possibility of our transformation.

Toronto I feel so excited that you're here.
