Chanel Miller

Know My Name

We often feel a quiet discomfort when someone else tells our story, even in small ways. Imagine that feeling amplified a thousand times, when your identity is stripped away and replaced by a public label. Chanel Miller lived this, becoming "Emily Doe" in a case that made headlines. Her memoir, *Know My Name*, is not just a recounting of events, but a profound act of self-reclamation. It reveals the immense, quiet courage it takes to insist on your own name, your own truth, when the world has already decided who you are. This isn't just about justice; it's about the deep human need to be seen and heard authentically, and the long, messy path to integrating trauma into a future you define.
