Shame journalist Melissa Petro thinks almost all your problems are because of shame. She’s no stranger to it. She was once earning money as a call girl. Years later, she embarked on a healing journey that ended in her becoming a public school teacher. But the NY Post found out about her past, and embarked on a public shaming campaign against her that forced her to resign. Since being publicly humiliated, Melissa has become a student of shame: why it’s so prevalent in culture and why women are so susceptible to it.
