Kelly asked women to share their first experiences of sexual assault. She went first: she was 12 years old, on a city bus.

By the next morning, Kelly said she was receiving at least 50 stories per minute. By Monday afternoon, the New York Times reported that nearly 27 million people had responded to or visited her Twitter page. Kelly sparked #NotOkay, a viral movement that made the scale of sexual assault impossible to ignore.

This was a full year before #MeToo became a global hashtag. But “me too” already existed as a movement. A decade earlier, activist Tarana Burke had founded it to support survivors of sexual violence, particularly Black women and girls.

What followed Kelly’s post took something we’d become used to discussing as a statistic and made it overwhelmingly personal: women sharing their experiences, in their own words, one after another after another. NPR called it a “collective unburdening.”

I would LOVE if someone created an instagram page to post about & highlight movies directed by women or with female stories or new books by women or new podcasts or music by women!

I want to hear more female voices but sometimes they get lost in the sea of men’s voices!

I would create it myself but I am very busy and unwell lol so I’m hoping that I can share my idea and someone with a bit of spare time could jump on it x

(Please let me know if this already exists)
