Profiled in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Essence, Paper Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and sought-out for a TedWomen talk, Burke shared her reflections on the past year, and where the movement needs to go from here.

In the first weeks of 2019, Burke is set to speak at Ivey Business School's Leadership & Candour Conference, the World Muse Conference, the YWCA of Western Massachusetts' 150th Celebration, and more.
