"""By telling the story of her own inspiring and unexpected path to Barack Obama's White House, Deesha Dyer offers powerful lessons about how to suppress self-doubt and chase one's dreams. UNDIPLOMATIC is powerful, smart, and very funny.""--Dan Pfeiffer, former senior White House advisor, co-host of Pod Save America, and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Yes We (Still)Can ""Deesha delivers her captivating story with candor and courage. It is valuable reading, especially for those many who have doubted their self-worth. UNDIPLOMATIC provides powerful, authentic antidotes to 'imposter syndrome' and demonstrates that it is not only possible but necessary to believe in oneself and to silence those voices that say you do not belong.""--Ambassador Susan E. Rice, former national security advisor and domestic policy advisor and New York Times bestselling author of Tough Love ""From the moment I met Deesha, I knew she was special. And she was special because she showed me her whole self. I knew exactly what I was getting, which was...a star. I knew then she would thrive, and so what a lesson about imposter syndrome this book is to all of us. Deesha's memoir, UNDIPLOMATIC, is emotional, enthralling and inspiring. It's also very funny. This book is for anyone still on their starting journey or still on their journey which is...all of us.""--Alyssa Mastromonaco, New York Times bestselling author of Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama ""I've had a front-row seat at many of the events that Deesha managed at the White House. And while I could be impressed by her ability to create and curate fly events, I'm most impressed by Deesha's hardworking, enterprising, and no-nonsense approach to the world and her journey. This book is a guide for anyone who needs motivation to execute above expectations and to deliver high-wattage results even when the spotlight is bright.""--Bozoma Saint John, hall of fame-inducted marketing executive and author of The Urgent Life"
