I am the founder of J² PRESS, a community-centered news platform dedicated to sharing meaningful stories and fostering local engagement. I launched J² PRESS in honor of my father, James Jones, whose work with Solomon's Words for the Wise reflected a deep commitment to truth, integrity, and community dialogue.

​

Inspired by his legacy, I created J² PRESS as a continuation of that mission—providing a space where important voices are heard and stories that matter are told. My work focuses on building connections, encouraging thoughtful conversation, and supporting the communities I serve.

Through J² PRESS, I remain committed to preserving a tradition of honest journalism while creating new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
