Janine Maxwell

Janine Maxwell could be defined by some as a “triple threat.” She is a savvy businesswoman, author, as well as a spirited humanitarian. She also is a loving and committed wife and mother.

Ms. Maxwell’s indomitable style has garnered her tremendous success in all that she endeavors to achieve. She is a graduate of Evangel University in Springfield, MO, and at the tender age of 24 founded what would become one of the most successful marketing companies in Canada. For 16 years she led Onyx Marketing Group, representing some of the most recognized companies in North America including Kellogg Canada, Disney, Kraft, Coca-Cola, and The Campbell’s Soup Company.

On the unforgettable day of September 11, 2001, Ms. Maxwell found herself part of the thousands fleeing the terror in New York City. This life-altering event sent Janine into a tailspin – on an introspective search for the meaning of her own life. This personal journey took her to Africa where she stood face-to-face with the AIDS pandemic, hunger and disease.
