In a piece in The New York Times on Thursday, Lupita Nyong'o became the latest high-profile actress to speak out against her experiences with Harvey Weinstein and sexual harassment in Hollywood.

The hashtag #MeToo spread on social media this week, and the movement also spawned other hashtags, like #HowIWillChange — a thread of men talking about how they can do more to prevent this type of behavior. Here & Now's Robin Young discusses with Femi Oke (@FemiOke) of Al Jazeera English.
