Authors@Wharton Presents Tarana Burke, Founder of the #MeToo moment, and Author of Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement in conversation with Professor Adam Grant.

 

From the founder and activist behind one of the largest movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the me too movement, Tarana Burke debuts a powerful memoir about her own journey to saying those two simple yet infinitely powerful words–me too–and how she brought empathy back to an entire generation in one of the largest cultural events in American history.

 

Unbound is the story of an inimitable woman's inner strength and perseverance, all in pursuit of bringing healing to her community and the world around her, but it is also a story of possibility, of empathy, of power, and of the leader we all have inside ourselves. In sharing her path toward healing and saying me too, Tarana reaches out a hand to help us all on our own journeys.

Registration is required for in-person attendance.

 

Books will be given out to the first 225 people in attendance.
