About this title

About the Author

Dr. Verna R. Benjamin-Lambert has dedicated her life to serving children. Her tireless passion to help the youth is fueled by her strong belief that given a chance, every child can experience success.A graduate of St. Joseph's Teachers' College in her native country of Jamaica, West Indies, she migrated to the United States where she worked in the private sector before returning to the classroom. Her studies at Kennesaw State University in psychology, and West Georgia University in Special Education Leadership, gave her the tools to become an advocate for students with disabilities. Following her undergraduate studies, she went on to obtain her doctorate from Nova Southeastern University.As an administrator at one of the leading school systems in Georgia, she became a voice for children who were being left behind in the academic setting. She retired from the school system to fulfill a lifetime goal of establishing The Benjamin Preschool of Academic and Performing Arts in Smyrna, Georgia. Her passion to support children facing challenges led her to coin the phrase and author the book, Health Intelligence, a work that grapples with the core issues leading to the obesity crisis among children. Her interest in children's health led to her development of the Healthy Benji series of children's books focused on establishing healthy eating habits in children.Dr. Benjamin-Lambert is the mother of four successful girls and grandmother of four boys. She enjoys life with her best friend and loving husband, Harry Lambert, Jr., in Kennesaw, Georgia. She is proud to be a citizen of the United States but returns to Jamaica quite frequently to visit her mother and father, Pearly Mae and Albert Benjamin, who she thanks for serving as strong role models for her and her eight siblings.
