Review Quotes
"Cheryl is a remarkable person and friend. Cheryl was and remains the North Star for me and those like me who navigated the culture of the Secret Service. Her book is a long time coming. Enjoy!"
"Cheryl Tyler is a skilled and trailblazing federal law enforcement officer and committed and tireless advocate for equality. She was the first African-American female Agent in the Presidential Protective Division of the United States Secret Service, as well as many other offices. She resigned from the Secret Service in 1999 after being told the Secret Service was "not ready" for an African-American female supervisory Agent; at that time, she was the longest serving African-American female Agent and there had never been a black female supervisory Agent. Despite leaving the Secret Service in 1999, she remained steadfast in her commitment to equality in the Agency, serving as a class representative in a class action lawsuit from 2000 to 2017, when the case settled for $24 million and changes to the promotions system. Her story is incredible, and worth telling and repeating."
"Cheryl Tyler is a trailblazer who paved a path for African American women in the Secret Service and in Federal Law Enforcement. Cheryl believes in doing what's right. Cheryl is a fighter who gained her strength from God, her humility from family, and her determination from Spelman College."
