Shirley Bennett (Yvette Nicole Brown) is a fictional character in U.S sitcom Community. A recently divorced mother of two, Shirley is a devoted Christian and is very sweet but also has thinly-veiled rage issues and gossips compulsively. She is proud to be an African American and a woman but appreciates not being defined by those characteristics. She is very friendly to everyone, but sometimes has problems minding her own business or keeping secrets.
