Hi guys! Welcome to Girl Talk One-on-One. I'm your host, Nicole D. Miller. Get ready for part two of our conversation with the one and only NAACP-nominated, entrepreneurial, and writing legend, Regina Jones. Now, if you missed Part 1 for any reason, make sure you run it back.

In this upcoming interview, we dive more into Regina’s journey of becoming the first Black female publisher...

In 1966, Ken and Regina started SOUL newspaper in the dining room of their home to showcase the musical achievement of the Black community with Black leadership running the show. SOUL, of course, predated the creation of Rolling Stone and Creem. By the 1970s, SOUL newspaper was 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.
