Chanel Miller with Jia Tolentino
Chanel Miller was just twenty-seven years old when she published her memoir, Know My Name, the book recounts her experience as the victim of sexual assault. It\u2019s a keen examination of gender, power, and the failures of our criminal justice system. It\u2019s also exquisitely written. Among the book\u2019s many fans is her interviewer for this program, Jia Tolentino, a contributor at the New Yorker and the author of Trick Mirror. On October 15, 2020, they discussed the challenges of becoming a public figure and the essential work of forging ones own identity. Miller and Tolentino also spoke about their creative processes, including Miller\u2019s visual art, now on display at San Francisco\u2019s Asian Art Museum.
