“Plain Jayne”, Extraordinary Life: A Conversation with Jayne Kennedy – Part One

 

Jayne Kennedy is more than a trailblazer—she’s a cultural force who has broken barriers in beauty, sports, television, and film. From Miss Ohio to Hollywood, from Bob Hope’s world tours to making history on The NFL Today, her journey has been one of courage, reinvention, and what she calls “strategic pivoting.” 

Now, with the release of her long-awaited memoir, Plain Jayne, and a special proclamation from Mayor Muriel Bowser declaring September 6th as Jayne Kennedy Day in Washington, D.C., we sit down with her for an unforgettable conversation. 

In this Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America two-part series, Jayne Kennedy opens up like never before — funny, raw, emotional, and inspiring.
