Warrior: My Path to Being Brave

Product Information

This is a book about bravery. I decided to write it because every day I receive messages from viewers asking me how I’m able to fearlessly investigate and interview bad guys. They want to know where my courage comes from. And my answer contradicts everything journalists have been taught. But I’m not a typical journalist—I was never trained in a traditional newsroom. I didn’t receive a journalism degree. I didn’t even finish college. Fast forward a few years, and Guerrero has achieved phenomenal success as Inside Edition's Chief Investigative Correspondent. Her stories have led to arrests, changed federal legislation and policies at Fortune 500 companies, and helped shine a light on crime, scams, child abuse, and even cold case murders. And in the last decade alone, she has won over thirty-five national journalism honors and awards. I’ve been a cheerleader. A corporate executive. A Barbie Doll. A sportscaster. A soap opera vixen. A sideline reporter. A Playboy cover model. A Diamond Diva. A red-carpet correspondent. An investigative journalist. A disrupter. Guerrero, Lisa (January 24, 2023). Warrior: My Path to Being Brave. Hachette Books. ISBN 978-0-306-82949-9.

Warrior: My Path to Being Brave: Guerrero, Lisa

My most recent project has been a series of Frida Kahlo mixed media mosaic portraits. Like many Latinas, I consider her my favorite artist, and she represents beauty, strength, passion, and a fearless devotion to social justice as well as to her lifelong love, Diego Rivera. It had taken five days after the toddler’s murder for the cops to seal the home as a crime scene. It was a year before her clothes were sent to a crime lab. The police never separated the suspects before they interviewed them—so they had time to coordinate their stories. The cops never charged anyone, even though they called Juliette’s death a homicide. And when the principal witnesses and/or suspects left the state, law enforcement threw up its hands and just moved on. The more I read, the more furious I became. This was a little girl who had never had a chance, even in death. Juliette’s aunt had been leading a petition drive that would compel a grand jury to be convened and a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the unsolved crime. But Juliette’s story needed national attention to help Monica garner the necessary signatures. I come from a long line of artists, craftsmen, poets, and musicians. So, it’s not a surprise that the art bug bit me early. But as the daughter of a Chilean immigrant and a Salvation Army social worker, I have always been message-based with my creations. My mom, Lucy Guerrero, was a talented photographer, embroiderer, and macramé artist. She volunteered with The Salvation Army serving the homeless and needy. She died at twenty-nine when I was just eight years old, but I remember her telling me as a little girl, “Guerrero means warrior. You are a warrior. Fight for others!” I took her last name as an adult to honor her memory. Guerrero, Lisa (November 28, 2016). Jewelry for Your Table: How to Make One-of-a-Kind Napkin Rings From Vintage Pieces.

The ensuing interview was scheduled for 20 minutes, but at the finish line Bonds said he wanted to keep going. They wound up with 80 minutes that aired over several nights. It was the first time any journalist had asked Bonds, on camera, if he’d ever taken steroids. (For the record, Bonds responded that he took creatine, protein pills and amino acids.)
