About Harvey’s guest

Lauren Lusby Fernandez is a woman who overcame stereotypes and sexism to prove that she could make it in one of the most male-dominated environments ever: the United States Secret Service, and she was stationed at the White House.

Her book, entitled “Talk Back Barbie: The Secret Service Edition”, is an amusing and entertaining memoir about that experience.

a humorous account of all her ups-and-downs while working for the Secret Service. Lauren was born and raised in Georgia, a Southern debutante, and a true girly girl, but wanted the exciting life of law enforcement. So, she did what any self respecting person would do. She turned her mistakes and failures into a book. Why not laugh at all her mistakes, while at the same time gaining a better understanding of the Secret Service and what it means to be a female in a male-dominated career!
