Transgender matriarch Jheri Jones on the 'long, hard road' that led her to achieving body-mind balance

Jheri talks about the resources and options that transgender individuals have today as opposed to her hay days where she felt like she was 'dancing in the dark'

Every family has a story to tell, and The Joneses have a story like nothing you have heard before. Jheri Jones, the matriarch of a warm trailer park home in Mississippi, is the star of this story. Her story is that of immense bravery, inspiring perseverance and a whole lot of love and forgiveness. She started her journey after many years of marriage and some more of fatherhood. Embarking on this forced her to stray away from her family for a long period and having no contact with her loving sons. Now, however, her sons have found their way back to her, with two of them even living with Jheri.
