Growing up in public housing in Canada, Jenkins was one of three children raised by a single mother and fitness is what kept her focused. A natural athlete, Jeanette found a safe haven in sports, one that taught her the value of discipline and team work, and most importantly instilled self confidence and a “can do” attitude. Jeanette has benefited from social and community services as a child and dedicates her time every week to tutor homeless children as a part of the School on Wheels Organization. She also volunteers her time to several community churches, sororities and nonprofit organizations to help motivate and empower men, women and children.
