- Jonquel moved from the Bahamas to Maryland at just 14 to chase her basketball dreams. With her coach at the time, Diane Richardson, becoming her legal guardian so Jonquel could stay in the States, Jonquel is now a 5x WNBA All-Star, WNBA MVP, and, most recently, a WNBA Champion and Finals MVP!!
- From Milk Crate to MVP. Jonquel’s basketball journey started when she received a glow-in-the-dark basketball for Christmas. She then took a milk crate and board and nailed it to a pole to serve as a basketball hoop. And hey! It worked, because now she’s one of the biggest stars in the WNBA!
- After six seasons with the Connecticut Sun, Jonquel was traded to the New York Liberty in 2023. On her first moving day, she hilariously ended up at the wrong address. Hey, even MVPs have GPS fails!
- When Jonquel’s not dominating on the court, she’s writing music, rapping, and singing. Turns out her talent extends way beyond basketball!
- Jonquel is a proud dog mom to two adorable Goldendoodles, Rylo and Kiba. They’re her constant companions and part of her winning squad!
