A NIGHT OF LEGACY, RESILIENCE & EMPOWERMENT
Join us as we celebrate Jayne Kennedy Overton, the iconic trailblazer who transformed sports, entertainment, and culture. From being crowned Miss Ohio USA to becoming one of the first Black women sportscasters on CBS’s The NFL Today, Jayne’s story is one of grace, perseverance, and reclamation.
Her acclaimed memoir, Plain Jayne, tells the raw, resilient truth behind her fame and her fight to reclaim her narrative — inspiring generations to rise above adversity.
“Jayne Kennedy broke color barriers as a pageant queen, NFL sportscaster, and award-winning actress.
She exemplifies how excellence can change culture and empower voices.”
— Dr. Marie Y. Lemelle, PhD
