At the age of 24 Janine Maxwell founded what would become one of the most successful marketing companies in Canada. For 16 years Janine led Onyx Marketing Group boasting some of the most well known companies in North America.

On 9/11 she found herself a part of thousands fleeing New York City. This life-changing event sent Janine on a search for the meaning of life. Her journey took her to Africa where she encountered the AIDS pandemic, hunger and disease. Janine was stirred by the faces of children, mothers and grandmothers fighting for their life, not once, but daily. She turned from her board room savvy to be the voice sounding an alarm for those too weak to cry for help.

Together Janine and her husband Ian work for Heart For Africa, a faith based organization focusing on Hunger, Orphans, Poverty, Education in Africa.

Janine is a graduate of Evangel University. She is the author of “It’s Not Okay With Me".

Janine lives in Atlanta with her husband Ian and children Spencer and Chloe.
