“I am a Transwoman” Jodi Gray, winner of the 2023 Courage To Come Back award in Mental Health, speaks with Bernadine about being a transwoman. Jodi came from a childhood filled with severe abuse and poverty. This led to anxiety and depression that plagued her for decades and cost her jobs and relationships. The hardest relationship for her to lose was the one with her son, James. Jodi transitioned 8 years ago and now advocates for others. She has been a peer support worker and is the head of a housing project for transgender, two-spirited, and gender-diverse people. The primary message Jodi wants to get out there is that her mental health challenges do not originate in being transgendered. But don’t take my word for it. Come listen for yourself to this amazing woman
