challenging emotional inspiring slow-paced

5.0

Simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming, Chanel Miller brings the spotlight to herself and this horrendous but necessary case.

I could’ve read it very quickly, but I wanted to sit in every moment with Miller and appreciate what she had to go through 😫

I urge every person to read this. Content warnings are below, obviously, but if you have the space and time this truly is a must.
Thank you ✨

“You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my safety, my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice, until today.”

I remember following the case as I was beginning college. I remember being devastated at the news of the sentencing. I remember being at Stanford graduation (on Chanel’s birthday, as I’ve now learned) and seeing the hundreds of protesting students holding signs in support of a girl we did not know the name of yet but whose story we have unfortunately heard too many times to count.

I’ve walked Stanford’s campus a hundred times. I think it can sometimes feel easier to try to forget how pervasive violence can be, but Chanel’s words have found their way into my heart. "To girls everywhere, I am with you." Sometimes, the same life that brings you light also brings darkness. And sometimes that feels like a neverending cycle, and you never know what side of things you're going to end up. You don’t always get to choose your topic, but we all have a story to tell.
