A Commentary on Sexual Harasment in the Service Industry | Melissa Denizard | TEDxTarrytown

video thumbnail
In the past year, the Me Too movement has helped vitalize a conversation about sexual assault in the workplace. Yet, the three years I've spent working in the service industry exposed me to the reality of sexual assault and power dynamics long before I knew of the power of "me too". This talk looks at the pervasiveness of sexual violence and harassment across industries and calls for an inclusive movement that takes into account the experiences of all survivors. Melissa Denizard (she/her/hers), currently resides in New York, but is a proud native of Haiti. Melissa is a student at Babson College and is majoring in Entrepreneurship. She has been breathing activism since high school; since then, she has founded and pursued several grassroots campaigns that pushed to have conversations about racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and Black culture. Melissa is also a self-taught filmmaker and blogger and is currently building a platform on YouTube that is dedicated to telling stories authentically. On her YouTube channel and personal blog, Melissa dissects pop culture and politics through the scope of social justice. Since creating her YouTube channel in August of 2017, she has been featured on Brut Media and Refinery29. Melissa’s ultimate goal is to encourage others to tell their stories; she believes that storytelling is an integral aspect of activism and hopes to interweave that into contemporary social justice initiatives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
