About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

Do you love books? Perhaps you love to read!

This is the event for YOU!

We are having a free book signing event featuring author Dr. Bennett and her book, The Audacity to Dream Big & Reach Higher.

She shares her journey of growing up in the South during the Jim Crow era, harvesting cotton, losing her mother, being molested, and dropping out of high school by age seventeen. Despite tribulations, she had a firm foundation in Jesus Christ which led her to earning a PhD at age fifty. By age fifty-two she became a successful entrepreneur, serving people in the human service field. She even earned close to one million dollars within her twenty-one years of serving before retiring in two-thousand and nineteen.

“No matter what you go through, if you have support and a good foundation, you can achieve.” -Dr. Bennett

Organized by

Ru Street with Indiana Ave COGIC

Based in Metro Detroit, I specialize in organizing vibrant and profitable marketplaces and book signings that create real value for both vendors and attendees. With a strong track record of hosting 7–10 vendors per event, I’ve consistently helped vendors not only recoup their $50 vendor fee but also walk away with profits — many making well over their investment. As a vendor myself, I’ve earned at least $200 at these events, giving me a firsthand understanding of what it takes to create a successful marketplace.

My events typically generate around $500 in total profit, and I’ve successfully hosted themed marketplaces around major holidays, drawing in shoppers and creating a warm, community-centered vibe. I also design and distribute promotional flyers and personally market each event through my growing network to ensure visibility and engagement.

I’m available to partner with churches, small businesses, and organizations looking to host their own vendor marketplaces. If you’re looking for an organized, creative, and experienced event host to bring your space to life — I’d love to connect.
