The extraordinary life of Regina Jones is one not only shaped by history but also one that made history. Pregnant and married at 15, she went straight through the middle of the 1965 Watts Rebellion, eventually emerging as the groundbreaking publisher of Soul newspaper. Jones’s journey is a testament to the American experience.

That lived experience, as a Black American woman raising a family of five children, stepping into places where she was not wanted, and navigating a world that offered her no favours, is one that is still too often overlooked. Who in the Hell Is Regina Jones? turns a lens on Jones’s remarkable journey—the invisible labour, the turmoil, struggle and the joy of a modern-day Black woman.
