About the Author
Col Merryl Tengesdal (Ret.) is a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and one of the first Black women to pilot the U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane, with over 3,000 flight hours in high-altitude reconnaissance missions. Her groundbreaking career in the stratosphere, where she shattered barriers and defied expectations, informs her writing on resilience and personal growth. In her memoir Shatter the Sky: What going to the stratosphere taught me about self-worth, sacrifice, and discipline, Tengesdal shares intimate lessons from her aerial exploits, exploring how extreme challenges forge unyielding self-worth and the discipline required for sacrifice. A sought-after speaker and advocate for diversity in STEM and aviation, she inspires readers to reach beyond their limits and embrace the heights of their potential.
