An instant New York Times bestseller, Unbound is the powerful and deeply personal memoir from activist Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too movement and one of the most influential voices of our time.

Before she became a global catalyst for empathy and justice, Tarana was a young girl silenced by trauma. Torn between who she truly was and who she was told to be, she spent years hiding her pain—until she realized that healing could only begin with truth. In this searing and courageous debut, she shares the journey that led her to say two life-changing words: me too.

Tarana writes with unflinching honesty about surviving sexual violence, navigating generational silence, and finding her voice through community, organizing, and radical empathy. Through her story, she shows us that we can only extend compassion to others when we first extend it to ourselves.

Praised by Oprah as “searing, powerful, and needed,” and described by Brené Brown as “a testimony to liberation and love,” Unbound is not just a memoir—it’s a movement. A story of healing, power, and the courage to change the world by starting with your own.
