WHISTLEBLOWER My Journey to Silicon Valley and Fight for Justice at Uber

Susan Fowler narrates a memoir is particularly focused on her experience working for Uber, where she experienced abuse and ultimately became a famous whistleblower. Listeners will become angry at the blatant mistreatment she receives, not just from the rideshare company, but also throughout her college education. At times, her voice is a little shaky with grief and frustration, and sometimes audibly exhausted from fighting. In a youthful-sounding timbre she shares the painful memories of someone who perseveres in part because she must. Indeed, she broke the cycle of extreme poverty with determination and optimism. Her bewilderment can be felt as she pleads for a safe workplace, innocently questioning powerful people who are boldly lying. Fowler's smile can be heard when she recalls the intrigued comment of a co-worker: "You're going to write about it, aren't you?" A.L.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
