In our new podcast episode, host Sandra Abrams chats with publishing trailblazer, Regina Jones and Soraya Selene (@soraya_selene), one of the co-directors of the new documentary, “WHO THE HELL IS REGINA JONES?” The film tells the story about Jones’s journey from being a mother of five at 21 and broke to witnessing the Watts Rebellion in 1965 to becoming the publisher of SOUL News.
The two guests also reveal the fortuitous event on how the film came to life thanks in part to the amazing SOUL archive that Jones’s grandson is preserving.
SOUL is culturally significant because it was the first publication to focus on Black music, musicians, and the Black experience in pop culture.
The episode is out now on our website, on the podcast website, mediamakerspotlight.com, and anywhere you listen to podcasts, including YouTube!
