“Build Your Table” Book Launch - BVI Lit Fest
Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce a special pre-event as part of the 2025 BVI Literary Festival, hosted by HLSCC. Join us for the Caribbean launch of Build Your Table, the debut career guide by Beverly Vanterpool, daughter of Brenda and the late Reverend Selwyn Vanterpool.
Beverly’s remarkable journey has taken her from the British Virgin Islands to Cambridge University and leadership positions across global companies in London. At this event, she will share lessons from her new book, insights from her podcast Stories by Career Sistas, and reflections on finding career clarity, making bold pivots, and thriving in spaces where the system isn’t always built for you.
We invite you to RSVP to attend—Wednesday, November 5th, 5pm at HLSCC—as we welcome Beverly home and come together to celebrate her achievements and her commitment to empowering others.
Book Description
They said to get a seat at the table. But what if the table was never built for you?
In Build Your Table, Beverly Vanterpool—once a shy Caribbean immigrant, now a corporate leader—shows you how to navigate workplaces that weren’t designed with you in mind. Part career guide, part personal memoir, this book blends real-life stories with actionable strategies to help you succeed on your own terms.

We hope to see you there!
