SAN FRANCISCO — Traveling light, Lisa Guerrero eschewed baggage claim and emerged from automated glass doors just as a car pulled curbside. Somehow, she made it from Los Angeles to San Francisco without interrogating a single airline executive. I love how she didn't shy away from some of the deep and heartbreaking moments she encompassed upon in her life. Lisa is an inspiration to many, and I highly recommend this book to anyone & everyone!

These days? It’s hardly a coincidence that in her new role, she specializes in calling out bullies on behalf of the powerless. Inside Edition isn't really my thing, but I'm definitely interested in memoirs by women who've worked in sports journalism, so I wanted to give Warrior by Lisa Guerrero a try. Mom and I never spoke about what had happened. And maybe if she had lived beyond her twenty-nine years, the incident would have been just one of many stories about my fierce mom. But this moment has become how I remember my mom—beautiful, strong, and larger than life. She wouldn’t let anyone insult her or her family. As we walked out of the store, I was overcome with pride for this woman whom I would lose in less than a year. He paused for a long time. He stuttered and stammered. “That’s true, and we have evidence that they were there, but none of them are talking.” As I got older, the loss of my mother felt bigger. I knew I was missing something crucial that everyone else had and took for granted. My brother and I would play hooky the Friday before Mother’s Day. We didn’t want to sit in the classroom while kids made crafts and cards for their moms. Dad always planned something fun to keep our minds off such holidays. Still, it was hard to forget that everyone we knew was celebrating something we couldn’t.

What I had been experiencing was really traumatic. Then, I felt it was more important: post-Me Too, post-Time-Out, and when there’s a real discussion in sports about mental health. I thought ‘ This is the time to publish my book.’ And talked about what really happened to me, so people could learn from my experiences. Guerrero previously wrote the book, Jewelry For Your Table, a how-to crafts treatise on table setting, published in 2016. [15] 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." I delivered my live report. I was dizzy and nauseated but reminded myself to stand up straight. During our Wednesday phone calls, Freddie would ream me out for bad posture. The pain was excruciating. I heard myself mispronounce a player’s name and knew I’d hear about it later. As soon as I finished, I raced off to interview a coach. Then I headed to the bathroom. As I sat on the toilet, I couldn’t believe the blood pouring out of me. It had soaked through my pants. I shoved a bunch of paper towels in my underwear.” This is a mixed bag. Some very interesting stories combined with the author's skimming over important life details, then spending too much time complaining about the consequences she suffered from making very bad decisions. It makes for a quirky, entertaining and worthwhile book, but it doesn't have the kind of impact Lisa Guerrero wants and detracts from any credibility she thinks she has as a so-called "investigative journalist."

This was astounding. I wasn’t some cop in an interrogation room wearing down a victim after hours of questioning—I was a reporter with a microphone. I had two witnesses throwing Dustin Chauncey under the bus. Townsend admitted on camera that Dustin had beaten the baby before. Fifteen years ago, I began studying mosaic art as a way of decompressing from my career on TV and focusing on making beautiful things out of broken pieces. That’s what I love about mosaics…they are a metaphor for life. I do confrontations every day,’’ Guerrero told The Athletic. “I feel like they are necessary, not to serve myself, but to serve the purpose of the story or the victim or survivor. … I feel like I’m being brave on their behalf.”Thank you to Netgalley and Hachette Books for providing this advanced reader's copy of Warrior: My Path to Being Brave by Lisa Guerrero, in exchange for my honest opinions and review. It began two years earlier when I received a message on Facebook from Monica Hall, Juliette’s aunt. She’d grown frustrated with the incompetent police investigation of her niece’s death and had reached out to the media for help. But her pleas to the networks, the cable news stations, and television personalities such as Dr. Phil and Nancy Grace had gone unanswered. It had been four years since Juliette had died, and I was her last resort. She begged me to look into it.
