Burke spoke to members of "Annie's List." The group works to elect progressive women in Texas.
Time Magazine has named Burke one of their silence breakers for spearheading the #MeToo movement years before the hashtag went viral.
As a sexual assault survivor, Burke said it all started 25 years ago with a question she had for herself.
"How can a body that holds pain also hold joy?" she said. "How is that possible? And for me, that was the seeds of this movement."
