So what else is there to know about Jones?
Where did she come from, and where does she hope to go in the future?
And how has she changed over the years?
This is the stunning transformation of Sheinelle Jones.
Clearly medicine runs in the blood for this family!
“It was an amazing experience to talk to my family,” she shared.
Well, it was a natural fit, then, as you have to talka lotas aTodayco-host.
“I would take my pencil and interview one of my little brothers.”
Our girl was committed!
One institution stood out that had everything she wanted: Northwestern University.
Jones also noted that the campus was beautiful.
“We both went to Northwestern, my husband and I,” she shared withToday.
“I’m a year older than him.”
Jones and Ojeh didn’t meet at a dance or at aValentine’s Dayevent, however.
“And I was like, ‘What a polite, kind, cute guy!'”
And they’ve been together ever since!
“I started my work life in Springfield, Illinois,” she explained on an episode ofToday.
This was long before the iPhone was a reality, so you know the struggle was real for her.
Initially Jones refused to get out of the car, not wanting the rain to mess up her hair.
Clearly she had no idea what was coming.
What a romantic moment that must have been!
That’s why she’s not worried about cooking dinner every night anymore.
“I don’t take it lightly.”
She also said that it was a real “gift” to be there.
Jones’ mom also appeared in the segment, clearly proud of what her daughter had accomplished.
“She has followed her dream, and her dream has come true,” she revealed.
And as Jones tells it, the experience was something that made a real impact on her.
It’s not lost on me," she gushed in an episode ofToday.
“It was an honor,” she added.
But in truth it’s quite the opposite, as Jones is used to a bit of chaos.
“I just turned 41 in April,” she toldParademagazine in the summer of 2019.
And because of that, she said it’s been easy to “lose” herself.
“I’m wearing my hair natural today,” she proclaimed on an episode ofToday.
“You know, it’s true.
After I talked about it, I thought about it.
First, she said that dumping water on her ponytailbeforegoing on air was a career first and understandably so!
Then she discussed what her hair means to her and advised others to keep an open mind.
“Your hair is an expression of who you are,” she wrote in the caption.
Indeed it was time for Jones to take a step back and reclaim some of her time for herself.
“Since I’m so busy on the weekday I thought, ‘You know what?
I should probably see those three children that I have at home,'” she continued.
So Jones went to an ENT to have a scope done to see what was going on.
“Sure enough, there was this polyp on my vocal cord,” she revealed.
“This has been a long time coming and I’ve struggled off and on for so long.”
Given how important her voice is for her profession, no wonder she felt super emotional!
“I also felt like I was wrapped in prayers,” she continued.
“It felt like such a powerful moment.”
