‘Empowerment Through Empathy’ — Tarana Burke Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Classic Tee

“Empowerment through empathy.” Tarana Burke coined this in 2006, more than a decade before the hashtag, while building grassroots support for young survivors of sexual violence. The two words name a working method she watched succeed: a survivor heals in the moment another survivor recognizes her, so the empathy between them is the actual engine, and the strength grows out of being truly seen.
