New Doc Feature: Who the Hell is Regina Jones?
Episode 93
Saturday, 1 March, 2025
Host Sandra Abrams chats with publishing trailblazer Regina Jones and Soraya Sélène, one of the co-directors of the new documentary, “WHO THE HELL IS REGINA JONES?” The film tells the remarkable story of Jones’s journey from being a financially struggling young mother of five to witnessing the Watts Rebellion in 1965 to creating and running SOUL newspaper. SOUL became a nationwide publication, scoring scoop after scoop with some of the era's biggest artists, like Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder. SOUL was where Black artists could get coverage. After her marriage ended, the newspaper shuttered, and her mother died, Jones explains how as a Black woman she navigated all the trials of life during that tumultuous time. Regina and Soraya also reveal how the film came to life thanks in part to the amazing SOUL archive that Jones’s grandson is preserving.
