As a Caribbean woman, and as a brown-skinned girl growing up in the islands, I learned early how to fight for my place. That was nothing new to me. In corporate America, I had to work four and five times harder than my male counterparts. I had to fight for opportunities that were handed to them without question. I was labeled aggressive when I was simply assertive. I was called difficult when I was standing firm. Yet I always delivered. No matter how challenging the assignment or how it was presented to me, I got the job done. The teams I led got the job done. Without excuses. Without extra help. That is discipline. That is leadership. That is Caribbean resilience. Growing up brown-skinned in the Caribbean prepared me for rooms that would try to shrink me. I refused to shrink. As I share in my memoir The Secret of Things, our struggles shape our strength. They do not define our limits.

Life is a journey. Not a straight road, not a perfect one, but yours. In The Secret of Things, I share my truth. The hidden chapters, the pain I survived, the love that healed me, and the lessons that shaped me. Life taught me that every step, even the painful ones, carries meaning. We don’t always understand the journey while we’re walking it. Sometimes the answers come later, quietly, when we look back and realize we were becoming stronger all along. If you’re on a journey that feels heavy right now, keep going. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your destination is still unfolding. 📖 The Secret of Things by Joan Pendergrass 👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD8Y2Q2V #LifeIsAJourney #TheSecretOfThings #MyTruth #HealingJourney #Resilience #FaithAndPurpose #Memoir #LifeLessons #KeepGoing #YourStoryMatters 🦋 I don’t own the copyrights to this song

🦋I don’t play with life.
I don’t play with truth.
And I definitely don’t play when God is on my side.

Every secret shaped me.
Every storm strengthened me.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful granddaughter Jasmine 🦋💜

Born on Valentine’s Day, a day filled with love, and you have brought nothing but love into my life from the very beginning. What a blessing it is that you came into this world on a day that represents the heart.

I have watched you grow into a graceful, intelligent, strong young woman. Like a butterfly, you have unfolded into your own beauty, and I am so proud of everything you have accomplished and all that is still to come.

You are my only granddaughter. My one and only. And that will always be something precious and sacred to me.

I pray that God blesses you with joy, peace, favor, protection, and every desire of your heart. May this year overflow with opportunities and happiness.

Everyone please join me in wishing my granddaughter Jasmine a blessed, joyful, and wonderful birthday today. Let’s shower her with love on this very special Valentine’s Day.

Nana loves you deeply and always. 💜🦋

🌹🦋Valentine’s Day is about love, and love does not end when someone leaves this world.
“I’ve had my share of life’s ups and downs,” and through it all, love carried us.
What Teddy and I shared was real, deep, and unconditional. We loved each other my fully and equally, a true 50-50 love affair, just as he once said. heart Love like that never dies. tlives on in the heart.
I hope that in your lifetime, everyone finds that level of love that Teddy and I shared.
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day.
#ForeverLove.
Disappointed my team didn’t win, and yes, I felt that. But spending the night out with my girlfriend /childhood friend made it special in its own way. Good company, laughter, and moments that remind me life is layered and always gives us something to be grateful for. That’s one of the truths I hold close in The Secret of Things. 🤍

🦋 A Woman at Peace 🦋

I’ve learned that becoming a woman is not about perfection.
It’s about truth.
It’s about choosing peace anyway.
