‘We Said Enough’ Co-Founder Discusses What’s Next In Anti-Sexual Harassment Movement GUEST: Adama Iwu, co-founder, We Said Enough Foundation

Women are saying "Time’s Up", #MeToo and "We Said Enough," over the prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace. But where does the movement go from here?

That’s one of the issues that will be discussed Tuesday at a forum on sexual harassment at the University of San Diego.

The event, sponsored by The San Diego Union-Tribune, will approach the issue from many angles, including personal experience.

One of the panelist at the forum is Adama Iwu, a co-founder of the "We Said Enough" movement, which exposed the culture of sexual harassment in California's capitol.

Iwu, a USD graduate, is a lobbyist and was featured on the cover of Time Magazine’s 2017 person of the year.

Iwu joins Midday Edition Tuesday to discuss how the "We Said Enough" movement got started and what needs to take place to create lasting change.
