Chanel Miller

Author

Chanel Miller is an American author and artist whose memoir revealed her identity as the survivor of the sexual assault by Brock Turner at Stanford University — a case that became a landmark in the national conversation about sexual violence and campus culture. Born in 1992, she studied English Literature at UC Santa Barbara. Know My... Name is her memoir, published in 2019 after she chose to reveal her identity (she had previously been known in court documents as 'Emily Doe'). The book recounts the assault, the trial, the viral impact statement she read to her attacker in court (which was read by over eighteen million people), and her journey to reclaim her identity and her life. The memoir won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography and was named one of the best books of the year by virtually every major publication. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers one of the most important memoirs of the decade — a book that is simultaneously devastating and empowering, written with literary grace by someone who refused to be defined by what was done to her.
