Dr. Januari Lewis is a native of Dallas, Texas where she graduated from Skyline High School. She earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Xavier University of Louisiana’s College of Pharmacy in the year 2000 at the age of 23. During her time in New Orleans, she was blessed to serve her school and community in numerous capacities as a multiple year officer in the SGA, an advocate in the community, chairing the university’s Campus Partner’s initiative, an extension of the Big Brothers, Big Sister’s program, and humbly serving as Miss Xavier University of Louisiana 1998-1999.

Upon her return to Dallas, she quickly used her degree in healthcare to advocate decreasing disparities in access to healthcare for minorities by serving on the inaugural board of what is now known as the Baylor Scott & White Health and Wellness Center in South Dallas as well as improving healthcare for women in their role as caregivers by dedicating her time over the past decade as a faithful volunteer and more recently, as the Board President of the North Texas chapter of the American Diabetes Association.

Professionally, as the district manager of pharmacy operations for a major retail pharmacy chain overseeing Plano, Allen, and surrounding areas, she was gifted with the responsibility of spearheading charitable efforts for approximately 200 regional Walgreen’s locations from 2005-2012. This afforded her the opportunity to establish connections and engage thousands of the company’s employees to raise funds and awareness for organizations like the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, JDRF and Susan G. Komen, just to name a few.

After almost a decade of overseeing 44 retail locations in 23 cities, she transitioned into the role of a director of operations for one of that chain’s local specialty division which was located inside a major metropolitan medical center. In the fall of 2017, she opened a Chiropractic and Wellness Center in the southern sector of Dallas as a way to give back to the community where she was raised and served as it’s CFO and director of marketing. In 2018, Dr. Lewis opened OxiJan, a strategic consulting agency, focused on offering a breath of fresh air to businesses and organizations in need of rebranding, engagement, training, and strategic growth.

After almost 20 years with Walgreens, Januari retired from her clinical pharmacy role to devote more time to her passions in life as she is a diehard Saints fan, love planning events and decorating fancy cakes. More importantly, she wanted to spend more time volunteering in her community and has done so by doing a wide range of activities ranging from building houses and playgrounds to hosting youth camps and speaking with various youth groups. She helped get Texans to the polls by serving as a shift manager at the corporate headquarters of the Beto for Texas campaign in addition to representing her profession and HBCU at numerous career and college fairs. She serves on the Board of Directors as Vice President for the Illustrious Angels Youth and Family services, a non-profit founded following the loss of her best friend in 2013 due to domestic violence which focuses on the unintended victims that domestic violence leaves behind, the children.

She is recently served as the marketing director for LovePacs-Plano, and is currently the leader of the medical ministry at Concord Baptist Church in Dallas, a mentor for students at Booker T. Washington and a chartering member of the Society, Incorporated, Supporting the Arts. She is still very involved with a number of community service organizations, donating her time to speaking publicly for several causes, volunteering regularly in her church and community, and sitting on the boards of various charities.
