Mompreneur Life

Jonell’s day starts around 7:30AM with Red Bull and coffee– lots of coffee. Although being a business owner is challenging, Jonell enjoys having flexibility. Jonell instilled independence in her sons at an early age. This was vital in her efforts of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship. Preparing meals and being familiar with the public transportation system are ways her sons were able to learn the basic skills needed in life. Jonell calls herself “The Mommy Police,” because she closely monitors her sons activity online, and on their cell phones.

My children are my main priority, and they are no one else’s responsibility but mine! – Jonell Whitt

Jonell says the only way she is able to balance all of this requires planning ahead, prioritizing, and relying on her strong support team.
