About this listen

Trailblazer is the remarkable and inspiring story of Cheryl Tyler, a Black woman who defied all odds and shattered barriers in her quest to protect the highest office in the land. This memoir transports listeners into Tyler's world as she embarks on a journey to become the first Black female agent assigned to the Presidential Protective Division of the United States Secret Service.

Her dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to her duty shine through as she serves as a top agent, safeguarding not only Presidents George H. W. Bush and William Jefferson Clinton but also world leaders and celebrities. Those accomplishments earned her well-deserved accolades, but this book uncovers the story of the challenges she faced as a woman of color in a predominantly male all-white profession. Tyler's memoir delves into the heart-wrenching struggles she endured during an eighteen-year class action lawsuit against the USSS. Alongside other Black agents, she fought relentlessly to eradicate racial slurs, workplace discrimination, and unfair employment practices within the Agency. As plaintiffs, they emerged victorious, securing a historic $24 million compensation.

Listeners will be captivated by Tyler's resilience and triumph as she shines a light on one woman's fight for equality and her extraordinary journey to make a lasting impact.
