IYH Innertainment artist Jori (Jay1) O’Neale is best known as a teacher and mother of four. But when Corona hit, as a way to cope with the depression settling in, she turned lemons into lemonade and reinvented herself. After years of being out of the spotlight, (10 year stand up career perfroming at venues like, Comix, Laugh Lounge and Caroline’s Comedy Club) Jay1 proves that once a bright light, always bright. In collaboration with local producer J Casket, her latest rap video is slowly climbing in popularity as collectively across Facebook she has garnished over 2,000 views in 5 days alone since posting. What does the future have in store for this mega mom as businesses begin to reopen across the country? “I want to continue with the work I’ve been doing,” she states. “My art has brought joy and happiness to so many, I would be selfish to stop now. I understand now that it’s not about me, and that’s what gives me courage to keep going.”
Damn, girl. Impressive.
Thank you Chris. Truly appreciate the feedback.
