In 2013, Emma Sulkowicz was an anonymous Jane Doe at Columbia University before her "Carry That Weight" mattress performance thrust her into the national spotlight. Now, in the wake of the Cornell Seven lawsuit where another Jane Doe was outed by Michael Tracy, Emma discusses the cost of losing anonymity, public backlash, and finding peace as an acupuncturist 14 years later.
