MEET DR. BARBARA SHARIEF
Before she was Dr. Barbara Sharief, Broward County’s first Black female mayor, county commissioner, and president of the Florida Association of Counties—where she represented all 67 counties in Florida—Barbara was a 14-year-old girl who lost her beloved father to gun violence. That tragic event molded her significantly, and sparked a desire to dedicate her life to service. Dr. Barbara Sharief’s life has been one of constant growth, dedication and breaking down barriers.

I had the honor of being a participant in the 2025 Empowering Caregivers Disaster Preparedness Conference. It’s important for me to spread information on how critical disasters can become and how residents should prepare themselves before emergencies arise. With that being said, the Governor just signed a bill for the permanent sales tax holiday all year round on emergency supplies ‼️ Anything from generators, flashlights, batteries, reusable tarps, and any evacuation gear can and will be accessible to you before hurricane season even starts to become more prepared. Thank you to the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, and the Broward County Dementia Care & Cure Initiative Task for putting forth the work to make this conference happen.

I had the pleasure of speaking at the THRIVE Tour yesterday hosted by @elev8healthinc. This was an amazing event to open the conversation about maternal mortality, how we can decrease the percentage of women who die from pregnancy-related issues, and creating a village through community organizing. I also had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with the founder of @4kira4moms, Charles Johnson. I was grateful to hear and learn about the resources the organization has provided and their tenacity to be a voice for mothers and families who have experienced maternal loss. As someone who’s a part of the healthcare community, the conversation on maternal mortality is not just important — it’s urgent. I’m grateful for organizations like these that are taking the initiative to listen, act, and protect mothers at all costs. #MaternalHealthMatters #MaternalMortality #SenatorSharief #District35 #HealthcareInnovation #Hollywood
