Phoenix, AZ — Meet Jenell M. Jones. Jenell is an early education entrepreneur, currently operating multiple early learning centers, which specialize in providing high-quality learning experiences to children who experience trauma in low-income areas. Her educational background includes earning a bachelor’s degree in business management and a master’s in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis on autism spectrum disorders from Arizona State University.
Jenell is an adoptive mother with over a decade of experience as a biological, step, and foster mother with a heart to love and serve. She began her journey as a foster mother in 2005 after taking on the responsibility of her son unexpectedly. Her experience was great and inspired her to adopt more children and continue opening her home to shower children with love. In 2015 she took in her daughter who shifted Jenell’s perspective on the adoption experience when she noticed undisclosed life-altering dysfunctions in her child. Her latest book, “Shattered” tells the story of her deepest pain as a mother and uncovered the truth about fostering, adoption, and fighting for her child’s life. In the end, justice is necessary and peace is questionable.
Jenell offers an honest take on the adoption and foster care system — and how to navigate the system without the necessary support, the lack of accountability for those who victimize children, and how to advocate for the often-overlooked and voiceless victims in the foster and adoption care system.
