About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on Buzzfeed, where it instantly went viral - viewed by 11 million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.
Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways - there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.
Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces listeners to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humour, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

Highly recommend
Chanel tells a raw, inspirational and shocking story of determination that sheds light on the corrupt American judicial system, which serves the white and privileged better than their victims. Ultimately she has the final say.

Harrowing, beautiful and necessary
Chanel Miller's Know My Name is not only a vital story of the real events behind one-dimensional headlines. It is that, but so much more. It's an exploration of trauma, race, justice, shame and re-victimisation. And it is beautifully, beautifully written.

Captivating & Powerful
The way Chanel performs this story is brave & educational. The victim impact statement was hard to listen to. She captures how every victim that has taken on a court system feels.
Chanel your message needs to be heard & I thank you for having the courage to not only share it. But share it with such compassion & directive towards educating those around us that they must take ownership for their actions.

Powerful
This is a powerful piece that corrected the narrative and gave a brave voice and face to the term “victim”. Chanel’s gentle and calm voice reverberated with strength and truth. Thank you Chanel, for being brave.

An absolute literary artwork
This is not the place I expected to find an artwork of this kind of beauty. It's just stunning. The story itself is horiffic from the rape itself to the way Chanel was treated by the system. But the way she tells the story is just so beautiful. I can't wait to read her next book about whatever she chooses it to be, it will be beautiful. What an incredibly amazing woman.
