#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.

Here’s a clip of #MyNameIsnt campaign.
