Know My Name is an empowering memoir by Chanel Miller, previously known to the world as Emily Doe. Her victim impact statement, posted on BuzzFeed, went viral, viewed by eleven million people within four days. It was a catalyst for legal changes in California and the recall of the judge in her case. Thousands wrote to her, expressing how her words gave them the courage to share their own experiences of assault.

In this memoir, Chanel reclaims her identity and tells her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. Despite the presence of eyewitnesses and secured physical evidence, her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and trial reveal the oppression victims face even in so-called 'perfect' cases.

Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators and a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable. Ultimately, it shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.

Know My Name challenges societal beliefs about what is acceptable, speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed the world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir stands as a modern classic.
