Francene Benjamin

Francene Benjamin came to the U.S. in 2004 from Antigua and Barbuda. After a fall that resulted in a back injury, Francene found out she also needed neck surgery, and multiple medical procedures have left her with limited mobility. As president of Coler’s Resident Council and member of the Coler Task Force, she works to improve the quality of life for her fellow residents. She always brings her sunshine to Freestyle Fridays, often in the form of a song or a “thought for the day.”
