#MeToo: TIME Announces “The Silence Breakers’ As ‘Person Of The Year'

While Trump swore he was asked to be Time Magazine's Person's of the Year, but declined (fake news), it looks like the magazine went a different route this year. 

This year's person wasn't just a person, but an entire group of people from the #MeToo Movement. The brave folks who decided that 2017 was the year to break the silence of sexual harassment and assault. 

Take a look:

According to NBC News, the magazine revealed exclusively on "Today" with activist Tarana Burke, who founded #MeToo in 2006. 

As we know, her trending hashtag became part of the national conversation in October after celebrities, like Alyssa Milano, on social media encouraged victims to share their own sexual abuse stories in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

Here are the two speaking about the cover and what it means for this women and our culture. 

"I could never imagine this, I could never have envisioned something that could change the world," Burke SAID.

"As women we have to support each other and stand up and say, 'No more,'" Milano said.

Other interviews in the annual issue included celebs such as Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, Taylor Swift, and not as known folks ranging from high-powered executives to women who work as hotel housekeepers or pick strawberries in fields, NBC noted.

Actor Terry Crews was also included. 

When asked why he joined the #MeToo Movement and came forward with his own sexual assault story, he replied:

"I’d actually just read a comment someone made on Twitter about one of Weinstein’s accusers. It went something like: She’s just looking for attention and a payday. It really affected me. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I remember going to my phone and I started writing. And I couldn’t stop. What it became was this sixteen-tweet missive from me. I just remember having to say what I felt. I was really angry because these women were being discounted. These women were being discarded. Their pain was just—it was nothing. I wanted to join in. I wanted to say something. I wanted to support. But I did have to let these women know they weren’t alone. And that I understood. My whole mission was to give them strength. Don’t accept the shame that people are giving you. Because that’s what it was. They were being shamed. They were being victimized again. I just couldn’t stand for it."

He was also clear in this video that "men need to hold other men accountable."

Bravo ladies and gentlemen!
