Unbound is an excellent but tough to read memoir。 I thought the author would dive more into the MeToo movement and the co-opting of the movement， but instead， the author focused on their life and experiences leading up to starting a movement。 It was tough to read at times， but very impactful。 3。5 rounded upThank you to the author， Flatiron Books， and NetGalley for providing an early copy to review！

Wow。 What an incredibly powerful book。 She's the originator of the phrase 'me too'。 She started it as a way for black and brown women and girls to share their pain and grief in an atmosphere of love and support。 From her own pain she developed her program for survivors to share their past。 I hope this book becomes a best seller because it's a story we all need to hear Wow。 What an incredibly powerful book。 She's the originator of the phrase 'me too'。 She started it as a way for black and brown women and girls to share their pain and grief in an atmosphere of love and support。 From her own pain she developed her program for survivors to share their past。 I hope this book becomes a best seller because it's a story we all need to hear 。。。more

Wow。 First， Tarana's writing style makes this an easy to read book。 It felt like I was just sitting down listening to her share her story and wisdom， along with a few tears and laughs。 Second， her story is definitely one to read。 I figured there would have to be something powerful about the woman who stared the Me Too movement， but I had no idea of the positive impact she's been making in communities her whole life。 Wow。 Wow。 First， Tarana's writing style makes this an easy to read book。 It felt like I was just sitting down listening to her share her story and wisdom， along with a few tears and laughs。 Second， her story is definitely one to read。 I figured there would have to be something powerful about the woman who stared the Me Too movement， but I had no idea of the positive impact she's been making in communities her whole life。 Wow。 。。。more

A compelling memoir。 Burke tells stories of her experiences and development that led her to her work in supporting victims of sexual violence。 The story of her life is a series of stories that slowly add up to her ultimate work。

4 stars。 This was an excellent but tough read。 While I know of the subject of “Me Too”， it didn’t dawn on me that those two words could be a trigger for anyone sexually assaulted。 The author’s voice is loud and clear and all the things she has done in her life with respect to this subject is admirable。 I’m glad I read it， but will follow up with a lighter take。

*I won an AR copy of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway*First， I would like to say that I really hope there are more copy edits to be done on this manuscript as there were many mistakes that made sections of the book partially unreadable。 This almost made me stop reading altogether。 If I was Tarana Burke I would be pretty mad that my book was allowed out， even as an Advanced Reading copy， with the kind of errors left behind by her editors。After finishing this book I am so glad that Burke had the *I won an AR copy of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway*First， I would like to say that I really hope there are more copy edits to be done on this manuscript as there were many mistakes that made sections of the book partially unreadable。 This almost made me stop reading altogether。 If I was Tarana Burke I would be pretty mad that my book was allowed out， even as an Advanced Reading copy， with the kind of errors left behind by her editors。After finishing this book I am so glad that Burke had the courage to write this memoir。 It's clear that this book is a powerful continuation of her work， one that will further her goal of promoting empathy and a greater community for survivors of sexual assault。 Her writing shines in her recollections of specific interactions with the important people in her life。 This is where you feel her warmth and strength propelling you through her story。 There were other moments where it felt like the writing flagged。 It almost seemed like it came from another writer because it lost its warmth and humanity and became more clinical。 I don't know if it was because these sections were more about relaying facts and information？ It could have been from Burke's experience as a journalist， where writers are often are taught to not have a voice。 Whatever the reason it caused some sections to feel disjointed。Overall， I would not hesitate to recommend this book and will probably suggest it to friends and family。 。。。more

This is a memoir- it is about the authors perspective as a Black woman who has been the victim of abuse。 She appears to separate her experience from similar experiences of white women; she tells how she was the originator of the “me too” movement and gives her perspective on what this movement means to her as a Black woman and how she sees it used by white women。What happened to the author is awful and she prevailed by working through her trauma and using her pain to do community work aimed at h This is a memoir- it is about the authors perspective as a Black woman who has been the victim of abuse。 She appears to separate her experience from similar experiences of white women; she tells how she was the originator of the “me too” movement and gives her perspective on what this movement means to her as a Black woman and how she sees it used by white women。What happened to the author is awful and she prevailed by working through her trauma and using her pain to do community work aimed at helping other Black and Brown girls。 There are a lot of things to chew on in this book- social justice， sexual abuse- her community work is important， which is evident by how she， as a child， could have forged a different path， had it been in place。 。。。more
