Know My Name by Chanel Miller

emotional inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

What an incredible memoir. The writing was excellent, with emotion pouring off the page. Her message was powerful, relatable, and hard-to-swallow. Chanel's story represents a suffering that so many women go through when they report their assault. We follow her battle through the justice system - arduous, painful, and horribly unsatisfactory - a symbol of the broken system that favors the rich, powerful, and white. We also see her battle the court of public opinion, one that required perfection of the victim while continuing to make excuses for the perpetrator. I am so deeply touched and inspired by Chanel's story, her battle, and her strength to keep going. I will never forget Chanel Miller. This memoir is a must-read.
