Content warning: discussions of sexual violence. Listener discretion advised.



Kirk Franklin is joined by activist and founder of the #MeToo movement Tarana Burke for an honest conversation about survival, accountability, and empowerment.



Tarana discusses coming of age in The Bronx during the golden age of hip-hop, why Me Too is not a women's movement but a survivor’s movement, the media’s focus on take down’s instead of truth and healing, protecting our children, and how she makes time for joy in the midst of it all.



Good Words With Kirk Franklin is produced by RCAI & Somethin Else, and Sony Music Entertainment.
