Hosted by Zainab Salbi, founder of the humanitarian organization Women for Women International, each episode of #MeToo, Now What? will focus on a different aspect of sexual harassment. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the five-part, 30-minute series will explore “the impact of popular culture on women in the workplace, how race and class factor into the discussion, the social costs of pay inequity and gender discrimination, how men can be engaged in this discussion and how we begin to chart a path forward.” Salbi says of her series, “in order for this conversation to create true cultural change, we must talk with the man on the street, in our lives, our colleagues and friends,” adding: “Equally, we need to have the conversation with the women in our lives to examine why, when we’ve seen sexual misconduct, we’ve often looked the other way when it didn’t impact us directly.” The seres is set to debut Feb. 2nd.
