About Barbara Pender:

How does a girl with shy tendencies grow up to be in the field of Social Media?  
Barbara Pender is the second oldest from a family of five siblings.  Her mother was a drama/English teacher and father, a Barber and strict disciplinarian.  She grew up during the early integration of schools and attended a school where she was in the minority.  She always considered herself less popular than her siblings.  Therefore she had to work to overcome that anonymity.  She was transformed by words of wisdom from her parents and grandparents;  “if you want something, go and get it – nobody is gonna bring it-to you.”  “You are so brilliant, you can do anything!”
 “You can make it easy on yourself or you can make it hard.”  
It was through their words of wisdom that she realized her self worth.

Presently, she is a certified ScrumMaster, Six Sigma Green Belt, and Social Media Strategist.  She would love to connect with you; www.facebook.com/socialactivist

About The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™:

The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ was founded by two attorneys, JW Dicks, Esq. and Nick Nation, Esq. who are also best selling authors and represent authors and experts nationwide.  Both of the attorneys are members of multiple organizations, associations and academies that recognize and honor the best in the business, and they thought a similar organization should be created for Best Selling authors who don’t always get recognition for their accomplishment. Authors themselves, they recognized that only a very limited number of books made the major New York Times Best Seller list and just like the awards shows put on by the entertainment-based organizations, they wanted to have more categories for authors to be accepted and recognized for their accomplishment. The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ now honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
