Know My Name

Easy 5 stars and should be required reading. Chanel Miller is an excellent author and unflinchingly confronted and examined her rape and everything that happened after. I thought I knew a decent amount about how sexual assaults are handled by the police and the judicial system, but having to listen to Chanel navigate the entire process from start to finish brought out so many details that I have never thought about. People wonder why women and men don't report their sexual assaults, well, read this book and you will understand exactly why.

This book is centered on Chanel's particular case and experience, but unfortunately, her situation is not unique which means there are many takeaways on how we can apply the knowledge that we gained from this memoir to our own lives and how we approach the topics of rape, sexual assault, consent, victims, survivors, and the laws surrounding these issues.
