Born and raised in America, as a first-generation daughter of immigrants of Jamaican, Haitian and Panamanian heritage and a product of the Broward County public school system, Anika Omphroy truly understands what it means to live a life governed by a culture of unity and community; Out of Many, One Family.
Her family’s cultural scope not only connects her with the diverse demographic of Congressional District 20, but has also helped to instill values which have inspired her to always put people, service, and sacrifice first. Anika is the niece of Lauderdale Lakes Mayor Hazelle Rogers, former State Representative and grandniece of Jamaica’s Order of Distinction recipient Gwendolyn Omphroy-Spencer, OD.
From an early age, Anika always had a passion for politics. Before graduating from Nova Southeastern University, she organized her first call-to-action rally against injustice as a young 7th grader.
