UTSA's Democratizing Racial Justice project will present a performance by Omi Osun Joni L. Jones this Friday at the Buena Vista Theater.
Omi Osun Joni L. Jones holds the distinction of being the first Black full professor hired in the communications department of the University of Texas at Austin in 1990. Holding a, less to reflect on her three decades as a professor in favor of examining — out loud with an audience as witnesses — where she’s at and what comes next.
Still, Jones said such uncertainty is a kind of freedom. “It’s exciting and confusing, and it’s nice to be in the confusion and not feel like I’ve got to land at some definitive point,” she said. Leaving the constraints of academia behind has freed her to explore subjects far beyond her normal areas of expertise.
“There are women out there who don’t know that if they just use some coconut oil as a daily part of their grooming regimen … it will simply bring comfort, ease, less tenderness and scratchiness,” Jones said.
