Starting with her recollections from that day and the morning after, when she woke up on a gurney at a hospital, “Know my Name” is Miller’s memoir about that night and the excruciating months that followed the assault. Some time around midnight Miller was sexually assaulted by Brock Turner, a then 19-year old Stanford student, and after that her life was never the same. Her sister was home for the weekend and would be going back to school the next day, so it seemed like a good idea in order to spend more time with her. One Saturday night in January 2015 Miller had planned to stay home but eventually changed her mind when her sister Tiffany invited her to go with her and her friends to a fraternity party at Stanford University. For over a year she was known as “Emily Doe”, “the victim” and the “unconscious intoxicated woman”, but she has a name: Chanel Miller. ![]()
