Event Details
Beloved TODAY show host Sheinelle Jones shares heartfelt life-lessons in her inspiring book, Through Mom's Eyes: Simple Wisdom From Mothers Who Raised Extraordinary Humans. Sheinelle will be in conversation with renowned journalist and author Liz Vaccariello.
When Sheinelle Jones launched “Through Mom’s Eyes,” a recurring TODAY show segment interviewing celebrities’ mothers about raising successful kids, she had an ulterior motive—she wanted to bring all their wisdom to bear on raising her own three children. She asked Lin-Manuel Miranda’s mom about staying present with kids while balancing a demanding career; talked with Lady Gaga’s mom about how to recognize bullying; and got tips from Steph Curry’s mom on making sure even future NBA royalty does his chores. She has since interviewed dozens of remarkable women and gathered a candid, warm, and insightful collection of valuable lessons about life, love, and parenthood.
Sheinelle Jones is co-host of TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle. Since joining NBC News in 2014, Sheinelle has covered a variety of breaking news events and human-interest stories. During her tenure, Sheinelle has interviewed many notable politicians, celebrities, and news makers. Sheinelle is a graduate of Northwestern University with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism and Spanish. She lives in Manhattan with her family.
Liz Vaccariello is Editor in Chief of Woman’s World, the #1 selling magazine in the country, and the creator and host of the podcast, What Matters with Liz. Liz has served as Editor in Chief of Real Simple, Parents, People magazines and more. She also co-authored the #1 New York Times bestseller Flat Belly Diet!. She graduated from the University of Michigan and lives in South Orange, New Jersey with her family.
Elm Street books will be onsite selling books and facilitating the book signing.
