What a revelation in life to see Jayne Kennedy do sports commentary with such flair and depth in the football arena. Too see her eloquently discuss the game and for so many reasons bring in new fans . Seeing a Black person of color and a female commentator holding her own showed how impactful your contribution can be if excellence is your calling card.

It's funny how Oprah Winfrey dedicated a whole show about how she was motivated and inspired by Mary Tyler Moore (A Fake TV Journalist), but I don't recall her ever acknowledging this drop dead gorgeous, beautiful & talented REAL JOURNALIST right here. I, as well as every other young black girl, grew up watching and admiring Mrs. Jane, so I'm glad she is finally getting her just-do because it's long overdue 🙌💕

[@michelelyons9314]

😂😂

[@Liz-ic6jb]

What an ignorant comment tainted with racism! 1. It's normal to be inspired by TV characters or shows. 2. Jayne and Oprah are close in age, so she didn't grow up being influence by Jayne Kennedy. Oprah was already in journalism by then 3. Mary Tyler Moore is OLDER than Oprah, so she was influenced by her as a child. 4. There were maybe TWO women on TV that had careers outside of the home at that time. It was a brave and risky move for Mary to take on that role 5. Many of us little black girls and women were inspired by the Mary Tyler Moore Show. We weren't hyper focused on her race. So you need to need to have a several seats!
