This is My Name
And finally, to the girls all over the world, I am with you. On the nights when you feel alone, I am with you. When they doubt you or ignore you, I am with you. I fought for you every day. So never stop fighting, too. I believe in you.
Justice failed her.
Chanel Miller's story revolutionized the world. In 2015, Brock Turner was caught red-handed sexually assaulting Miller on the Stanford University campus in California and sentenced to just six months in prison.
The leniency of the sentence and Chanel's powerful testimony, seen and heard by eleven million people in four days, sparked a wave of global outrage and a desire for immediate action. The statement was read in the U.S. Congress, prompted changes in California law and reviews of the judge's conduct and decision.
She refused to be just another statistic.
This Is My Name is an intimate and moving memoir, an indictment of a patriarchal culture that favors perpetrators and a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable.
Blending pain, resilience, and great sensitivity, this captivating account is destined to become a modern classic, an essential read to inspire change and extend an empathetic hand to all survivors of sexual assault.
And her voice raised an army.
