7:34 am
gave them the courage to not have to tell their story or not have to name their predator but to just stand in solidarity and i think that the numbers are a testament to how powerful women can be when we do stand together and we are one. >> and what we've seen, alyssa, it's women and some men from all walks of life. some names that we know, some that we don't know. and you have indicated that this is very personal for you. but you haven't shared any specifics. when do you think that you'll be ready to share your story in full? >> i'm not sure and i don't know if i will ever publicly share my story, of course, i've done my own healing and been through counseling and have a great support system in my life but really this was aut

7:37 am
so we need to figure out those protocols and those -- and define those lines so men know they cannot cross them. you know, i talk about all the time like it's so interesting to me that my kid in school learns that if his clothes catch on fire that he should stop, drop and roll but there's nothing teaching our kids in school the protocol of gender equality and what that means and decency and respect towards the opposite gender. so i'm hoping to work with tarana and the create sieve coalition to put together something that takes this beyond a hashtag movement and people can reach me on twitter. i'm looking for suggestions. i really want this to be about the every woman's voice. i want it to be this is your movement, women. this is your time and if i can be the vessel and hold the bull horn for you guys to shout as loud as how manically possible i'm honored
