Tarana Burke, the activist who created (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/20/us/me-too-movement-tarana-burke.html?_r=0) the "Me Too" campaign back in 2007, which recently inspired (http://mashable.com/2017/10/15/me-too-alyssa-milano-twitter-harassment/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source) an online movement against sexual assault and harassment, is leading us all into 2018.
Burke will be participating in New York's traditional New Year's Eve ceremony, according to a Monday press release. In honor of her efforts and social impact, she was chosen as the evening's special guest and will push the Waterford crystal button that drops the ball in Times Square starting the countdown to the new year.
Seems like 2018 is already looking up.
