Episode Synopsis


In her first episode, host Sarah Banet-Weiser talks with guests Simidele Dosekun and Srila Roy about Me Too and whether it can be described as a “movement.” They explore Me Too’s marketization, its transnational implications in India and Africa, and how describing it as a generational battle is an oversimplification.
