Josephine had been a slave since she was a child, until she was bought by Callisto Legnani to work as a nanny. Baptized in Venice, it was later ruled that she was a free woman as slavery had been illegal in Sudan. As a free woman, she joined the Canossian sisters and remained faithful and good-natured.
