In this astonishingly honest interview Deesha opens up about doubting her skills, achievements, successes and self-worth whilst working in the highest office in the land. A remarkably revealing insight into how someone on the front row of some of the most defining moments in political history felt on the inside and how she has since learned the tools to manage it and even sometimes use it to her advantage.
