For my new series, Thank You Notes, I teamed up with Olay to challenge a group of women to surprise their role models — the women who inspired them to face anything — with a thank you note.

In this episode: Over the past few years, more and more survivors of sexual misconduct have felt empowered to share their story — because of the incredible activism of Tarana Burke, the founder of #MeToo. In a remarkable new episode of Thank You Notes, Jameela Jamil surprises Tarana to say, “Thank you.”

This video shows Jameela, the I Weigh founder and The Good Place actor, reading a powerful thank you note to Tarana. “#MeToo was the first time that I felt less alone in all of the sexual trauma that I’d faced in my life,” Jameela writes. “You found a humane and simple way of hyper-normalizing women and men addressing the sexual misconduct that they had faced. You destigmatized it for us to speak about.”
