Irish Jean Benton is a resident of Concord, North Carolina.
Irish is a self-published Author, writing four books in recent years, with her first title being ‘Breaking His Silence’ which depicts her story of surviving domestic violence and abuse.
This title won her the 2016 Author of The Year Award through Queen City Awards in Charlotte NC.
Irish became a member of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Domestic Violence Speakers Bureau through the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Support Services training program in 2017.
Irish has had the opportunity to speak at many events to spread awareness on this national issue.
In October of 2022 Irish received the Jill Dinwiddie ‘Courage to Soar’ award given by the Jamie Kimble Foundation for Courage in Charlotte NC.
She is currently an advocate to domestic violence victims with which she helps find safe housing and resources to assist women and children in the state of North Carolina and she also practices Christian Counseling and Coaching services with her H.O.P.E (Helping Other People Evolve) ministry.
Irish felt that women needed a guide and compass to not only survive after the traumatic experiences of domestic violence or toxic relationships. The goal for her books is to teach women self-improvement and empowerment. Irish preaches self-love is the best love and gift we can only give to ourselves.
One of Irish’s favorite quotes comes from the movie ‘The Woman King.’
IN ORDER TO BE A WARRIOR, YOU MUST KILL THE TEARS!
