The Dr. Brenda Wade Show

Women are breaking glass ceilings every day but sometimes it’s good to step back in time and honor some true pioneers who exhibit self-love and human courage. Sue Ann Baker is one of those stories. As one of the first five female Secret Service agents ever, she was a pioneer in federal law enforcement. From protecting world leaders and their wives to protecting presidential candidates on the campaign trail to arresting counterfeiters and check forgers, Sue Ann is used to pushing her comfort zone.

In her book Behind the Shades: A Secret Service Agent’s True Story, she describes her journey from cop to agent in the elite US Secret Service and the lessons she learned about modern love and learning to achieve your dreams.
