If there’s one thing that 2017 has proved to us, it’s that black women know how to get things to done. And the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment seem to agree. Sixty seconds before the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve this year, #MeToo founder Tarana Burke will push the Waterford crystal button that signals the ball drop in New York’s Times Square.
Burke announced the news on her Twitter account on Monday.
Welp! Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Yours truly will be pressing the Waterford crystal button to release the ball drop in Times Square on NYE. We are setting intentions for the new year. #metoo2018 pic.twitter.com/iYGfyvnvqJ
