The Asheville nonprofit Our Voice holds its biggest fundraiser of the year with an online event Thursday, March 11, featuring Chanel Miller, the survivor of a 2015 attack at Stanford University.

Miller, who faced her assailant in court, read a victim impact statement that deeply resonated with listeners and those who read it later.

Tickets to hear Miller cost $25, with proceeds benefitting Our Voice. Get tickets here. Buy raffle tickets to win prizes via the event here. The event will kick off with original music by Asheville singer-songwriter Jane Kramer.

The Break the Silence Speaker Series is Our VOICE’s largest fundraising event of the year. Each year, the series highlights the voice of a national leader, activist or survivor who has worked to improve systems in responding to and ending sexual assault or human trafficking in our communities.

Chanel Miller is a writer and artist who received her BA in Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her critically acclaimed memoir, KNOW MY NAME, was a New York Times bestseller, a New York Times Book Review Notable Book, and a National Book Critics Circle Award winner, as well as a best book of 2019 in Time, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, NPR, and People, among others. She is a 2019 Time Next 100 honoree and a 2016 Glamour Woman of the Year honoree under her pseudonym, “Emily Doe.”
