Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement Paperback – 14 April 2022

Tarana Burke is amazingly honest, very candid and shows incredible courage in telling her story.

I purchased this after hearing tarana speak on a podcast. An inspirational lady and a wonderful autobiography. It is a tough but honest read.

This memoir is a powerful insight into the world of how survivors of sexual assault function. Although #metoo went viral after the Harvey Weinstein revelations, the groundwork for this movement was laid in the South in the Black community. Raw, powerful, and devastating. Inspirational. A tough but important read.

This was an amazing read. So much emotion was released from within me as I read through this books pages. I downloaded a purchased copy from amazon, but I think I was to add the physical book to my shelf as I can see myself reading this memoir again and again in the future. Tarana's strength and resilience is so inspiring and her story so familiar. I can see myself returning to its pages for inspiration for my own journey.

Honesto, crudo, generoso, descorazonador, lleno de vida y esperanza. No soy la misma persona que antes de leerlo. Te cambiará corazón y mente.

I heard Glennon Doyle rave about this book on her Untamed podcast and it did not disappoint. What a strong, inspiring piece of work from a strong, inspiring woman. It was more entertaining than I expected given the key central topic, but this just added layers of light and shade, just as life does. A beautiful and important account of a young woman’s life that many will feel echoes part of their own. The way Tarana describes her subconscious processing of her emotional responses to traumatic events, as well as everyday events such as her relationship with her mother, new loves, new mentors is riveting.

Surprising beginning and a great closure
