1672: Former White House Social Secretary Deesha Dyer
Deesha Dyer is the former White House Social Secretary under President Obama, meaning she was THE person responsible for state dinners, official functions, visits by Popes and presidents, performances by Beyoncé (!), and more. Deesha's new book UNDIPLOMATIC pulls back the curtain on White House life to funny, winning effect, but even more so, it documents a young Black woman's struggle to belong in our nation's most prestigious spaces.
In 2009, at age 31, Deesha Dyer's finances were... messy. She'd dropped out of college, accruing a mountain of debt but no degree. She had an eviction on her record and bad credit. She plugged away at an admin job, while freelancing as an organizer and blogger of her beloved hip-hop / soul scene in Philly. (Hello, Jill Scott!)
Inspired by the Obama campaign, she applied for a White House internship that she knew was a longshot. These jobs were for phenoms from Harvard and Howard. Not part-time community college students in their thirties with zero connections. To her shock, Deesha got the gig. For the first time in her life, she had a full-time job that reflected her passion for change. In just five years or so, she was in charge of a whole White House department. -

Customer Reviews
A healthy state of obsession
I have been listening to Farnoosh’s podcast for over 5 years now and think of her as my financial fairy God Mother. Her advice has helped me focus on paying down debt, asking for promotions at work and buying a home. Her episodes are like a buffet and have something for everyone. I recommend her to all my friend who want to learn more about finances. I appreciate the diversity of guest she has and love that she admits that she’s not qualified to talk about a topic.
Good listen
Was looking for a new personal finance podcast and this came recommended. Is informative, has good guests, and really breaks down finances in a simple to understand manner. I feel like there are too many ads, maybe more can be done at the beginning or end?
In our house, we love “So Money”
I found “So Money” a few years ago during a time in my life where I was struggling financially. I had more than enough opportunity to grow wealth but instead ended up in debt due to poor decisions. I appreciate Farnoosh’s approachable and intentional cadence to providing financial education in a way that makes me feel seen. She is an ally to all but her episodes where she championed Black voices in the finance space resonated really well and were so sincere. In “So Money” you will learn about the tactical landscape of finance but also the emotional and psychological considerations that make the journey more meaningful. I would recommend you take a listen.
