The Beginning
Adrienne Bennett is the first black woman master plumber, but she is more than that. She is determined, hard-working, humble, and confident in her abilities. Bennett was born and raised in Detroit and now owns her own company that focuses mainly on giving back to and rebuilding her home city

She only agreed to a five-year plumbing apprenticeship program after a racial encounter in engineering school led her to remove herself from college entirely in pursuit of something better for herself. She joined the plumbing apprenticeship program and never looked back.
The Come Up

- Master plumber
- Project manager

And she did all of this for her home city of Detroit. As a black master plumber, Bennett saw a lot of criticism in the industry. She was also a woman plumber in a men-dominated field, but she didn’t let anything stop her. It only made her stronger. After this decade-long journey, Bennett sought out the only thing she saw left to accomplish was to be an independent plumbing contractor.
Her Today
