Opal Tometi is a human rights activist, writer, strategist, community organizer, and co-founder of Black Lives Matter. Starting out as a hashtag on social media in 2013, Black Lives Matter has grown to become the largest movement in U.S. history, as reported by the New York Times.

We had the unique pleasure of speaking with Opal and learning about her personal background and upbringing, what inspired her to become a human rights activist, how Black Lives Matter ultimately came together, what the organization’s goal and purpose is, and much more.

We received an overwhelming amount of questions from our audience for Opal and we definitely tried our best to ask her what most of you were curious to know, so thank you for sending us your questions & we hope you enjoy!
