Jennifer Aniston & EmRata Follow Dr. Shereene Idriss. You Should Too.
Perhaps better known as the doctor behind #PillowTalkDerm, Dr. Idriss has made a name for herself by whistleblowing beauty misinformation (see: her take on hyaluronic acid’s vastly overhyped status and her horrified reaction to Gwyneth Paltrow’s skincare routine).

In September, Burke released her memoir, Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement, which chronicles her childhood in the Bronx and her path to activism — the first step of which all came when she quit the job she was working at the time. “Leaving that job allowed me to know I can do the work that I want without being tethered to a 9-to-5,” Burke tells Bustle. “I moved to Selma and started Just Be [Inc.], the organization that ended up starting Me Too.
