She received a Ph.D. and MSN from the University of South Carolina and her BSN from Clemson University. She also completed post-doctoral fellowships at Yale University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Shortly after entering the nursing profession, Dr. Jenerette was exposed to the plight of adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) and quickly learned that the same rules for pain management did not apply to this population. She now knows that much of the inequity in care for individuals with SCD is due to social determinants of health, implicit and explicit bias, lack of knowledge, myths about Black people, and racism. Because the healthcare system is unwilling (or unable) to provide adequate care for individuals living with SCD, her research has focused on improving self-care management for individuals with SCD. Individuals in the sickle cell community often use “Nothing for us without us.” That is very impactful and almost certainly requires the skills of an inclusive servant leader like Dr. Jenerette. She has been selected as the 2020 National Sickle Cell Advocate of the Year and, more recently, the 2023 Pat Corley, RN, Sickle Cell Ambassador Award and Sickle Cell Medical Researcher Award. She is internationally known for her scholarship in SCD. She is the past president and current treasurer for the International Association of Sickle Cell Nurses and Professional Associates. She is also the President of the Midlands of South Carolina Black Nurses Association. This Chapter focuses on leadership, mentoring, and advocacy.
