Currently, Bennett, who's parents both served in the United States Armed forces, is concerned with the alarming suicide rate of veterans (44 per day) and the increasing suicide rate (1.8 million attempts) of LGBTQ youth per year. She hopes her efforts and book will help guide people through those difficult times. She says the book illustrates how her grandmother's love, laughter and wisdom provided a blanket of protection for her.

Her professional (career) life only offered her positions as a domestic. Yes, she was "The Help"! However, Granny never let any of those circumstances pierce the veil of her faith or her sense of humor. Prominent businesswoman best known for her position as CEO of Burberry and SVP at Apple.
