Born in Les Abymes, Guadeloupe, Benin made her debut in politics at the municipal elections of 2008 by being elected to the Le Moule council on the list of Gabrielle Louis-Carabin, then a member of UMP.[2] At the 2010 regional elections, she was elected on the list of the socialist winner Victorin Lurel.[2]
The following year, during the cantonal elections she was elected general councillor in the canton of Moule-2, eliminating from the first round the outgoing socialist Christian Couchy.[2] She was re-elected at the 2015 departmental election, after the merger of the townships of the municipality in the new canton of Moule.[2]
On 17 June 2017, she was elected as a left-wing deputy for Guadeloupe's 2nd constituency, receiving 64.26% of the votes cast in the 2nd round against the LREM candidate Diana Peran.[3][1]
