Janet Colbert is a passionate woman who cares about the lives of others. She was born in New York and moved to Florida

at the age of 2. She is a proud Floridian who loves and cares for her community. Colbert earned dual degrees (BSN and

BPS) after intense schooling at nights and on weekends while holding down a full time job.

While working as a neonatal intensive care nurse Colbert came to realize that she wasn't just caring for sick babies,

instead she observed more and more babies being born into addiction. After further research on her own, Colbert found

she was in the middle of a nationwide epidemic that has its epicenter in Broward County, Florida. Sickened by the revelation about the community she loves, Colbert started writing letters to local and national leaders.
