Uzo Aduba Instagram – Ron Cephas Jones. The first time I ever saw this great artist’s work was in a play called The Overwhelming. He was magical, powerful really. I didn’t know I would have the pleasure of sharing the stage with Ron just two short years ago. What a titan. So beloved by our community, and a genius with his craft; he would share his wisdom and knowledge about this art we all so deeply, deeply love. But, more he shared with us his heart. Generously. Ever a teacher, we all learned so much from Ron, and we continue to carry his lessons. It is that knowledge that helps me know he will be with us. forever. My prayers and love to his daughter, Jasmine, who he so loved, his family, and to all who loved “the cool cat” known on this earth as Ron Cephas Jones. May you forever rest, sir.
