Janice is the NC Program Director for Red Wine and Blue, a women-led, nonpartisan, 501 c3/c4 organization focused on amplifying the voices of the diversity of suburban women in the political arena. In under two years, she and her NC staff have grown a network of women across the political spectrum and across racial lines to over 20K North Carolina Troublemakers. She and her team are training these women how to use their political power to impact the issues that are important to them in their communities; then use that power to help elect commonsense candidates up/down the ballot who stand for reproductive rights, public schools, gun safety, anti-discrimination of the LBGTQ+ & Black communities, voting rights and more pillar issues that keep our democracy alive.
A native of South Carolina & now resident of Charlotte, NC for 14 years, Janice received her bachelor’s degree in business administration from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC and her master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Rush University in Chicago, IL. She has worked as an Occupational Therapist for almost 30 years including as an adjunct faculty member for a masters occupational therapy program for 4 years.
