"I do not write to trigger victims. I write to comfort them, and I've found that victims identify more with pain than with platitudes." - Chanel Miller
Know My Name by Chanel Miller is an incredibly powerful memoir. It is raw and difficult and eloquent and honest. Many times I was reading along and a single profound sentence stopped me in my tracks.
It's terrible that Miller was raped by Brock Turner "the Stamford Swimmer"; in 2015. Her courage, victim impact statement, and memoir ensure she will not be remembered for that event but for the ways in which she took control of her life after that horrific event. Her words have given strength and courage to countless people and will continue to do so.
