What if a DNA test didn't just reveal a name — it revealed a woman who had already changed the world without you ever knowing she existed?

Five years ago, Dan Albaum received a message that would rewrite his family's story. Through 23andMe, a connection surfaced: Regina Jones, his great-grandfather's daughter, a woman born in wartime South Central LA, raised with little, and driven by something that no circumstance could contain.

Regina married at 15, became a mother of five by 21, and was working the switchboard at the LAPD the night the Watts riots ignited in 1965. Instead of stepping back from that fire, she and her husband Ken ran toward it — and from that crucible, SOUL newspaper was born. The first publication of its kind, SOUL told the stories of Black musicians, entertainers, and artists at a time when no one else would.

At its peak, 127,000 copies were in circulation. When it ended, and her marriage with it, Regina didn't stop. She built a PR agency. She worked alongside icons. She gave back through children's welfare nonprofit Crystal Stairs. And she did it all while raising her family, refusing every ceiling placed above her.

Now, her extraordinary life is the subject of the award-winning documentary Who in the Hell is Regina Jones? Dan joins Jon to celebrate the woman history is finally catching up to.
