Story
Through poverty, adolescence, and a fraught relationship with her mother, Ashley Ford wishes she could turn to her father for hope and encouragement. There are just a few problems: he’s in prison, and she doesn’t know what he did to end up there. She doesn’t know how to deal with the incessant worries that keep her up at night, or how to handle the changes in her body that draw unwanted attention from men. In her search for unconditional love, Ashley begins dating a boy her mother hates.

Publisher's Summary
"Tarana Burke, I just finished Unbound. Searing. Powerful. Needed!! Thank you." (Oprah)
This program is read by the author.
From the founder and activist behind one of the largest movements of the 20th and 21st 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.
Tarana didn’t always have the courage to say "me too". As a child, she reeled from her sexual assault, believing she was responsible. Unable to confess what she thought of as her own sins for fear of shattering her family, her soul split in two. One side was the bright, intellectually curious third generation Bronxite steeped in Black literature and power, and the other was the bad, shame-ridden girl who thought of herself as a vile rule breaker, not of a victim. She tucked one away, hidden behind a wall of pain and anger, which seemed to work...until it didn’t.
Tarana fought to reunite her fractured soul, through organizing, pursuing justice, and finding community. In her debut memoir, she shares her extensive work supporting and empowering Black and Brown girls, and the devastating realization that to truly help these girls she needed to help that scared, ashamed child still in her soul. She needed to stop running and confront what had happened to her, for Heaven and Diamond and the countless other young Black women for whom she cared. They gave her the courage to embrace her power. A power which in turn she shared with the entire world. Through these young Black and Brown women, Tarana found that we can only offer empathy to others if we first offer it to ourselves.
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.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
“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'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)
"Tarana Burke is the most important voice of our generation and Unbound is an offering that will set free hearts, families, and communities. I will never stop being grateful for Tarana Burke’s wisdom and courage - and I will never stop thinking about this book." (Glennon Doyle, number one New York Times best-selling author of Untamed)

A moving glimpse into the beginnings of the #Metoo movement
This was a beautifully told, and fiercely powerful recounting of the journey through trauma and strength, community and independence, self compassion and empathy that led Tarana to start the Me Too movement, long before it became a hashtag. I so appreciate the vulnerability and authenticity in the sharing of her experience. She never claimed to have it all figured out, but instead shared how she navigated as best she could, consistently showing up, and doing her best. And consistently striving for a better way - for herself, her community, and young black women around the country.

Me Too
I am filled with gratitude. Tarana Burke is a beautiful writer and storyteller. This book captivated me from the first moment. Her brave vulnerability shone through as a beacon of hope for girls and women, myself included, to say “me too”.
Please keep writing.

Transparent AF
As memoirs go, this is the most transparent I've ever read. Usually the writer talks about all the awful things people inflicted on them, rarely do they share with such honesty, the ways in which they fell short or outright hurt others. I devoured this book in one day, now I'll go back and listen through a second and third time. Beautifully written, excellent pacing, emotionally riveting.
I'm glad Tarana got the opportunity to tell origins of Me Too. The whole story.

Brilliant, raw, heartbreaking & beautiful
Tarana has used her voice and her experiences to open the conversation about sexual violence in a way that is brave, vulnerable and raw.
As a mental health therapist, I thank you for your strength as it is through two simple words that you guide the way safely for so many others to walk the path to recovery! Me too!

Inspiring!
I couldn’t stop listening to Tarana’s book Unbound. I had tears in my eyes and my heart aches for Tarana and all the girls who’ve fallen victim to sexual abuse. The way she turned her life around, faced her fears and is making a difference in our world is so inspiring that anyone will find this book a tool to overcoming any set backs in life.
I also loved how Tarana narrated her story, her voice keeps you hooked that you can’t put down this book. A must read for everyone!
