#MyNameIsnt takes a powerful stand against public harassment

Award-winning director Spike Lee’s series adaptation of his classic 1986 film She’s Gotta Have It on Netflix inspired the #MyNameIsnt Campaign on social media. The 10-part-series follows the story of a woman in her late 20’s struggling to balance her friendships, work and three boyfriends.

On the first episode of the show, the main character, Nola is assaulted by a guy whose advances she rejects twice while walking home by herself in the middle of the night. The guy proceeds to grab her by the wrist and call her names.
