This week on Shelley’s Plumbline… a revelation that changes everything.
Dr. Ricky Jones has spent his life speaking truth to power. But in this episode, he shares a truth of his own—one that’s raw, personal, and decades in the making.
For the first time publicly, Ricky reveals the identity of his father.
That man… is Dr. Shelley Stewart.

Human Rights icon. Radio legend.

You’ll want to hear this. The letter Ricky shared with our very own, Dr. Shelley Stewart, over 20 years ago.
