KNOW MY NAME, @chanelmillerknowmyname
Before we knew the name Chanel Miller, we only knew her as Emily Doe.
Chanel’s victim impact statement after being sexually assaulted by Brock Turner reached millions and inspired countless others to come forward to share their own experiences with sexual violence.
“Know My Name” tells the story of what came after – the isolation, trauma, and the many ways in which society and the so called-justice fails survivors and favors young white men, shaming the victims and quickly chalking up the violence inflicted as childhood indiscretions.
However, it’s not just about the pain – it’s also about the triumph of moving forward with the dignity she and all other survivors of sexual violence deserve. ✨
