Our Story
During her 30-year career with the Broward Sheriff's Office, Retired Colonel Josefa Benjamin observed the devastating effects of living without purpose—cycles of incarceration and broken communities. This stirred a deep conviction: prevention through purpose could change lives.
She founded Born On Purpose Project to uplift individuals and help them step into a life of intention, passion, and purpose.
She also witnessed the heavy toll this work takes on those who serve, fueling her commitment to pour back into the very professionals who pour into our communities.
