Paule: “The author interviewed people who have been humiliated in public. They tried to lie or fabricate the truth and got publicly shamed for it. When I first came to America from Burkina-Faso, it happened to me in school. I was publicly shamed every day because I couldn’t speak English and dressed differently. We had uniforms but I always added something special – like a flower or a bow tie. It’s all about how you take the public shaming. You can learn from it and understand what happened and why. They picked on me because they wanted me to be like everybody else. Like, being different is not fair. Now I’m unapologetically me.” @pauleoue #SoYouveBeenPubliclyShamed #JonRonson / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Jay Street)
