We love a good trouble maker.
Deesha Dyer was an underdog. She was 31 without a degree or connections when she applied for the White House internship. With zero expectations for a callback, she couldn’t believe when she got an interview or when she landed the job. That internship changed her life.
Despite grit and a blossoming career, Deesha’s imposter syndrome haunted her in each new position. I think there’s something for everyone laced in these pages. Thanks to her candidness and vulnerability, I saw a bit of myself in her as she struggled to see her own successes and recognize her right to be in that space. It’s always inspiring to hear the stories of badass women!
What a great read! I love a good memoir and it’s not often that we get to hear about the inner-workings of the White House. Not me perusing the job postings to see what’s out there after finishing this—maybe in another life. 🤪
