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.

Yes—our Shelley.
Human Rights icon. Radio legend.
And the father Ricky never knew.

What happens when two men—strangers by circumstance, bound by blood—sit face-to-face for the first time?

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