Making Good Out of Tragedy Through Work with Jerilyn Brusseau
Jerilyn Brusseau is a legend in the baking industry. She created the recipe for the world’s most famous cinnamon roll, the Cinnabon. But you might not know that she also started PeaceTrees Vietnam, a non-profit that has safely disposed of more than 150,000 unexploded bombs in that country.
Jerilyn is an exceptional woman who has worn many hats in her life—bakery owner (Brusseau’s in Edmonds, WA), food consultant, humanitarian, and non-profit founder.
It all started in her grandmother’s kitchen on a farm in Montana, but it was a profound tragedy that led Jerilyn to the most important work of her life. She is proof that getting up after getting knocked down may be the most important thing a human being can do.
