REVIEWS / PRESS

Jomama Jones is a radiant soul diva. Her stories ring with playful, painful, honest nuance. Black Light is the kind of political theater that manages to merge the raised first with the open palm.
– Sara Holdren, New York Magazine

Activism meets glitter. Jomama Jones is here to turn your pain into something beautiful.
– Hayley Levitt, TheatreMania

Lyrics that stack up like the poetry of a freedom fighter, each song hits essential human truth.
– Naveen Kumar, Towleroad
