<![CDATA[An American of Ghanaian descent, Veronica Owusu has been named as part of this year’s prestigious winner(s) of Time Magazine’s ‘Person of The Year’.
TIME magazine crowned ‘The Silence Breakers’ (women who activated the ‘#MeToo’ national outcry over sexual harassment) as its 2017 ‘Person of the Year’.
TIME’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal revealed the cover, which features Ashley Judd, Taylor Swift and former Uber engineer Susan Fowler.
“The galvanizing actions of the women on our cover … along with those of hundreds of others, and of many men as well, have unleashed one of the highest-velocity shifts in our culture since the 1960s,” Felsenthal explained.
Veronica Owusu is one of the seven current and former employees of New York City’s Plaza Hotel who filed a suit against the hotel for “normalizing and trivializing sexual assault” among employees there. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, which owns the Plaza, said it takes remedial action against harassment when warranted.
