You've had your DMs open for people to share their #MeToo stories. What got you started to write the song?
The stories are painful and infuriating. They not only cover sexual harassment, but also powerful men retaliating to the threat of truth with baseless legal action and intimidation. I've been trying to do good to these women and men by allowing a space for catharsis, justice, healing, and closure, as have the incredible women who are leading the movement.
I have a young social media following and I want them to understand what my generation wasn't taught. Topics like consent, sexual harassment, and the power of 'no' were hush-hush when I was a young teenager. #MeToo made it clear that we cannot afford such silence in our own homes anymore. We, as a community, have the responsibility to change things collectively. I wanted to do my bit, and this was it.
