Deesha Dyer has undoubtedly charted her own path throughout her career. Formerly the White House social secretary for the Obama administration, Deesha got her start by taking a leap of faith and applying to the White House internship program in 2009. Now, she’s an award-winning strategist, on-the-ground community organizer, and executive operations expert, and is the founder and CEO of the social impact agency Hook & Fasten. In her new book Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Trouble, Deesha shares candid stories from her career thus far and peels back the curtain on imposter syndrome. In this interview, we discuss Deesha’s career at the White House from intern to social secretary, combating imposter syndrome, and the message she’s sharing through her first book.
