Tarana Burke has always been struck by a commitment to justice and equity. As the founder of the 'me too' movement and subsequent nonprofit, Burke works to dismantle the cycle of sexual violence and other systemic issues that disproportionately impact marginalized people. Tarana's passion for community organizing began in the late 1980s, when as a young girl she joined a youth development organization called 21st Century. Since then she has launched initiatives around issues of racial discrimination, housing inequality, and economic justice. Her work has connected a vast network of influential people, including much of Hollywood, the founder of the Women's March Tamika Mallory, leading intellectuals and authors like Ishmael Beah and Gloria Steinem. She was 2017 TIME Person of the Year and the winner of the 2019 Sydney Peace Prize, and has been the recipient of countless other accolades. She is the co-editor with Brene Brown of the instant New York Times bestseller You Are Your Best Thing.
Searing. Powerful. Needed.
*Oprah*
I will never stop thinking about this book.
*Glennon Doyle*
Sometimes a single story can change the world. Unbound is one of
those stories. Tarana's words are a testimony to liberation and
love.
*Brené Brown*
Burke sings a Black girl's song and Unbound stands alongside I Know
Why the Caged Bird Sings and The Color Purple, as a coming of age
story that is at once searingly painful, brilliant, and beautiful.
Tarana Burke is known around the world for her activism and
leadership. Now she will be known as an extraordinary writer.
*Imani Perry, author of Breathe *
Burke's Unbound is worthy of being considered next to I Know Why
the Caged Bird Sings as one of those rare books that will unfold
and welcome parts of us we thought we'd completely hid until the
earth is gone. Unbound is the one we readers and writers have been
waiting for.
*Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy *
An unforgettable page-turner of a life story rendered with endless
grace and grit.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Intensely moving and unapologetically frank, Burke's fearless
memoir will uplift and inspire the next generation of survivors,
advocates, and truth-tellers.
*Publishers Weekly*
