You don't know me, but you've been inside me, and that's why we're here today.
From the text of the victim impact statement Miller wrote in 2016, ahead of sentencing in the Brock Turner sexual assault case, quoted a.o.
It took me a long time to learn healing is not about advancing. It is about returning repeatedly to forage something.

About this person
Chanel Miller is an American writer and artist based in San Francisco and New York City. She was known anonymously in People v. Turner as "Emily Doe" after she was sexually assaulted while unconscious on the campus of Stanford University in January 2015 by Brock Allen Turner. The following year, her victim impact statement at his sentencing hearing went viral after it was published online by BuzzFeed, being read 11 million times within four days. Miller was referred to as "Emily Doe" in court documents and media reports until September 2019, when she relinquished her anonymity and released her memoir Know My Name: A Memoir. The book won the 2019 National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiographies and was named in several national book lists of the year. She is credited with sparking national discussion in the United States about the treatment of sexual assault cases and victims by college campuses and court systems, a topic she addresses as a public speaker.
