And that – and a combination of lots of other things, and help and support from everyone around me – was my light,” Carey said.

The trailer for She Said was released this past July. The story is inspired by the events that uncovered the crimes of the now convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein and helped propel the #Metoo movement.
