    This is my first TED Talk. I spent weeks fretting over what to say until I realized that I could just tell the truth. This work is hard and tiring. And its often unrewarding. But it is the most necessary endeavor. I'm dedicating this to other survivors and activists.

    Please keep these survivors in your hearts and minds as you watch the doc series. It took a LOT to come forward and tell these stories and now that they have they are out there and have to deal with folks sitting in judgement of their lives.

    This is why the hashtag was so important. Because every single time you treat a Black girl like she’s a grown adult you contribute to a culture that enables their abuse.

    I can’t stop thinking about how much society’s inability to see Black children as children, and specifically in this case girls, is at the root of so much of this. Yes, it’s about the hero worship of charismatic men. But it’s also about our girls being robbed of childhood.

    Let me say this to Black folks who are saying foolishness like this. Shut up. It has taken 20 YEARS to get the mainstream media to shine light on his depravity. He is not FACE of sexual assault. He is the subject of a doc that allows his survivors to be heard...finally.
