Warrior: My Path to Being Brave

Product Information

She has many issues with men. Most men. First she stands up to the NFL management as a cheerleader. Then she took a job on a Fox Sports show as the only female harassed by the guys (surprisingly she praises Tom Arnold!). What was she expecting? She certainly had a few cases of discrimination or inappropriate jokes but she also made some really bad choices that either put her in those situations or failed to stand up for herself when she could have. As one executive told her, she was trying to be a square peg in a round hole. For as brave as she wants to claim she is, she falters then often blame-shifts in an attempt to identify with the #MeToo movement.

It would be difficult to question her toughness now. The book opens with a harrowing tale of how Guerrero helped solve the murder of 2-year-old Juliette Geurts in Nebraska. The girl’s aunt had grown frustrated with the police investigation and reached out to the media. Guerrero jumped into action, followed leads she said the police ignored, pressed witnesses into identifying the suspect, and, finally, confronted the suspect himself. The resulting report spurred the convening of a grand jury and, ultimately, charges for Dustin Chauncey of intentional child abuse resulting in death. Well, this makes it pretty evident that Lisa did not want to have any children for quite some time and stood by that decision. Guerrero previously wrote the book, Jewelry For Your Table, a how-to crafts treatise on table setting, published in 2016. [15] Meanwhile, my father, a planning consultant for nonprofits, is also a gifted photographer, poet, and visionary. He has dedicated his life to social service. Because of my parents’ influence, my mixed media mosaics convey messages of empowerment, pride in culture, and my commitment to social justice. Her career on camera spans four decades and the lessons she’s learned overcoming incredible challenges are the basis for her inspirational memoir, “Warrior: My Path to Being Brave“ (Hachette: January 2023) and is being developed into a tv series. As a child, her Chilean immigrant mother, Lucy, explained to her that in Spanish, “Guerrero means Warrior” so Lisa was destined to fight for others.

Both of them support each other for their activities via social media, but there’s no hint of romance in front of the public.

The book owes its title to Lucy. It’s from all those times her mother reminded Lisa that her last name, Guerrero, was Spanish for warrior. 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."Lisa Guerrero chronicles her iconic career—from dealing with harassment as a sports broadcaster to chasing “bad guys” for Inside Edition—and proves that through small, daily acts, bravery is a muscle we can strengthen over time. MARTIN: Likewise. You know, you’ve had this incredible career. And it’s interesting because I’m guessing that a lot of people who know you from one of your lives doesn’t necessarily know you from your other lives. I mean, you’ve been a professional football cheerleader, you’ve been an actress on a popular drama, you’ve been a sportscaster on what has been the highest profile, you know, sports show, especially in football. You’re a long time award-winning investigative reporter, and now, you’re writing a memoir. Why now? What made this time?

When it comes to her latest career of being an "investigative journalist," the few examples she gives actually show her weaknesses in the job and using it for advocacy, failing to have an objective approach to her subjects on Inside Edition. So while Guerrero may be an interviewer and may do "reporting" in the most simplistic sense, she is not a trained objective journalist and (to be honest) isn't that great on the air. Her stilted talking style and emphasis on looks basically make her come across as the cheerleader-actress she started as. Guerrero was the celebrity cover model in the January 2006 issue of Playboy magazine, billed on the cover as "The Best Damn Sports Beauty". [10] Guerrero, Lisa (January 24, 2023).
