I M Perfect lady

I finished reading "Know My Name" by Chanel Miller, a victim of sexual assault.  You perhaps know her perpetrator more than you know her.  Brock Turner assaulted her. She was admittedly blacked out from drinking.  

This book shows the landscape of victims.  How the justice system works to suppress and minimize the victims, while being so expansive and generous to the perpetrators.

Her being unaware of her abuse did not lessen its affects.

Just as children who block it out or whose mind's don't record it are similarly affected just as deeply.

If you wonder why more victims don't come forth or why there are not more trials for sexual assault, you may become more informed reading this.

I began listening with a curious mind.

I wanted to know about the girl in the news.

Her victim statement has been read millions of times, and her video seen by thousands.

We all need to know more about these crimes and we are educated more, each time a victim shares her story.

Thank you for showing us who you are and how sexual assault alters who you are.
