Kris Ponce-Enrile wants you to know her name.
When she first came across the Brock Turner sexual assault case in 2016, she was instantly heartbroken. She couldn’t take her mind off from figuring who “Emily Doe” is in the case. Then in 2019, she finally found out her name after reading the book, “Know My Name” written by the victim herself, Chanel Miller.
“”Know My Name” changed my life, and I told myself that when I go back home, I’d drive to Stanford to check out the memorial garden and just sit there,” she shared. She did get to visit recently and it impacted her a lot that she wanted to post the experience on Instagram.
“@chanelmillerknowmyname, sitting on the bench with the plaque of your victim statement gave me chills. Your courage is contagious. You are my hero. I promise, one of us will make it up that mountain, scream victory, and throw down the rope for the rest to climb,” she wrote in her caption.
