Trust the way that you believe the world should be. Don’t let anybody tell you that that’s wrong or impossible or ridiculous.
About Emily
- I earned my bachelor’s degree in politics, cultures, and identities, followed by a master’s degree in social policy.
- In 2005, I, along with a group of other young people, decided to address the issue of street harassment.
- We started a blog, Hollaback!, a public blog where people could share their experiences of harassment.
- Hollaback! became a nonprofit organization in 2010 and we started doing more to address harassment, including building more platforms and offering training on how to stop street harassment.
- The organization is now called Right To Be, and we’ve grown to work toward ending all forms of harassment.
