Being Undiplomatic with Deesha Dyer
Send me a Text Message about the show!
Not following the expected path isn't necessarily a recipe for success in a city like Washington, D.C., but that is exactly what my guest this week, Deesha Dyer, did. At the age of 31, working full time and in community college part time, she took a chance on herself and applied for a White House internship in the Obama administration. And thank goodness she did, because she quickly found herself zipping up the ranks until she became the White House social secretary, where she worked until 2017.
There's a lot we should talk about with Deesha. From imposter syndrome to embracing who you are even if it makes other people uncomfortable, we cover a wide range of topics. And I'm all the better for it!
About my guest:

She served as the White House social secretary during the Obama administration and is currently the founder and CEO of social impact agency, Hook & Fasten.

Deesha’s entertaining and engaging style of storytelling allows her to inspire audiences around the world.
