"In a revealing new memoir, the journalist, former NFL cheerleader,
and sportscaster details the sexist bullying that almost broke
her--and how she reclaimed her life."--People
"...an essential read. [Guerrero's] storytelling is exquisite and
emotional."--Library Journal
"Shakespeare famously asked 'What's in a name?' In the case of Lisa
Guerrero, the answer is, 'Everything you need to know about her.'
For a woman whose last name translates to 'warrior, ' Lisa Guerrero
has had to fight for everything she has achieved. Blessed with
incredible beauty, Lisa has often been dismissed by others and had
to prove she belonged--whether on the sidelines covering the NFL or
working as a fearless correspondent for Inside Edition. Despite
great loss as a young girl, Lisa's personal story is a roadmap for
anyone who has big dreams--and only needs to believe in themself to
achieve them."--Deborah Norville, NYT Best-Selling Author & Anchor
of Inside Edition
"Guerrero writes with a frank candidness, and her deep convictions
are evident on every page. The author's fans are in for a
treat."--Publisher's Weekly
"Having spent many nights standing shoulder to shoulder in the
trenches with Lisa Guerrero as she fought to overcome stereotypes
and become a trusted connection for sports fans everywhere, I can
confirm that, indeed, Warrior is the perfect title for this book.
Even amid the glares and grumblings of some of the most celebrated
sports figures in the world, Lisa never backed down, never gave in,
never stopped pushing for the truth. Her story is one of unwavering
resilience and uncommon dignity, and I am proud to be even a small
part of it."
--Bill Plaschke, Los Angeles Times columnist and panelist on ESPN's
Around the Horn
"Lisa Guerrero is exactly what her last name means in Spanish, a
warrior who inspires us to push forward. The book, Warrior, is a
true journey of a tenacious woman who learned to find her voice and
strength through painful experiences that no one knew she was
enduring. Racism, sexism, misogyny, bullying, vicious criticism,
rejection, and a broken marriage are everything Lisa Guerrero has
experienced in her career as a Latina, sports journalist,
investigative correspondent, and actress. It's a miracle that she
is still standing today. I could not put down this book because
every chapter brought another sports legend or powerful entertainer
and a harsh lesson learned. I recommend Lisa's book to anyone who
has questioned their role in their profession and personal life and
even whether they should still exist in this world. Warrior will
leave you inspired and empowered to take on the world."--Rebecca
Aguilar, Emmy award-winning reporter, SPJ President (2021-2022),
Founder of Latinas in Journalism, and Founder of Wise Latinas
Linked
"Much like its author, Warrior is disarmingly candid,
unapologetically honest. Courage, oft-celebrated as a trait, is
actually a choice we make. Lisa's odyssey is the story of what one
person is able to achieve when she chooses to be brave."
--John Walters, Sports Illustrated
"This book is a juicy page-turner. Lisa does a great job
illustrating that, in any industry, women have to work harder and
fight for their own agency. She is a true girl's girl and a
champion of women."--Kathy Griffin, New York Times bestselling
author, Emmy- and Grammy-award winning comedian
