What if the table was never built for you? If you ask Beverly Vanterpool, she’ll tell you to build your own! 💼📚
Join us for the Caribbean launch of Build Your Table, the debut career guide by Beverly Vanterpool, as she sits down for an inspiring one-on-one conversation with Patlian Johnson, HLSCC’s Director of Planning and Institutional Effectiveness.
From the Virgin Islands to Cambridge University and on to global leadership roles in London, Beverly’s story is one of courage, clarity, and carving your own path. In this empowering pre-event to the BVI Lit Fest, she’ll share lessons from her book, insights from her podcast Stories by Career Sistas, and reflections on thriving in spaces where the system wasn’t always built for you.
🗓 Date: Wednesday, 5 November 2025
🕔 Time: 5:00 p.m.
📍 Venue: HLSCC Green Room, Learning Resource Centre
Presented in partnership with the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC), this event welcomes Beverly home — celebrating her achievements, her voice, and her mission to empower others to build their own tables, too.
