"Plain Jayne", Extraordinary Life: A Conversation with Jayne Kennedy - Part Two
Update: 2025-09-20
Description
In Part 2 of our special Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America series, Jayne Kennedy opens up about the most difficult chapter of her life — a season of heartbreak, isolation, and doubt that nearly silenced her. But what makes her story extraordinary is not the fall, it’s the rise. With courage, faith, and the determination to reinvent herself yet again, Jayne found a way out of the darkness and into the light.
Her new memoir, Plain Jayne, captures that journey with raw honesty — and tomorrow, September 6th, the District of Columbia will honor her with Jayne Kennedy Day. This episode is about triumph over adversity, the power of self-forgiveness, and the unstoppable spirit of a true cultural icon.
