The Eng Subformer Uber engineer whose shocking account of her experience of sexism and harassment at the company has a message for other would-be whistleblowers.

Susan Fowler, who has maintained a relatively low public profile since publishing the blog post that inspired #DeleteUber and kicked off the weeks-long investigation that today resulted in CEO Travis Kalanick's leave of absence, shared an inspiring message Tuesday about the importance of standing up for what's right.

"Thank you so much everyone for all of the kind messages today," Fowler, who is now the editor-in-chief of Increment, a publication for payments company Stripe, tweeted. "Don't forget that you can make a change too. It only takes one person!"

Fowler's harrowing account of the sexism and harassment she said she experienced at the ride hailing company caused a backlash that resulted in as many as 500,000 account deletions. (Uber had 40 million monthly active users in October of 2016, the last time it publicly shared stats, but #DeleteUber still moved the needle -- Kalanick resigned from President Trump's economic advisory shortly after the hashtag's second wave.) Fowler's post also kicked off two investigations, including one conducted by former Attorney General Eric Holder's law firm, Covington & Burling, whose results were shared with employees Tuesday.

In the weeks after her blog post went viral, the investigation deepened, with several new allegations coming to light. More than 20 employees were ultimately fired as a result of the investigations. Eric Alexander, the president of the company's Asia business, was also fired after reports that he shared the medical files of a rape victim with others at the company. Uber SVP of Business Emil Michael also resigned Monday.

The company is also in the process of revamping serveral of its cultural values that have become "weaponized," according to the Holder report. The company also renamed "The War Room," one of its conference rooms, to "The Peace Room." The report also made several specific recommendations about how the company could improve its diversity and inclsuion practices.

None of which would have happened without Fowler coming forward to share her experience. "Truth will always win," she wrote.
