Jones, a Charlotte native who has been an advocate for LGBT issues for nearly 40 years, draws from her faith to fuel her activism. "To whom much is given much is expected," says Jones.
She has been elected to a position on the board of directors of Equality North Carolina (ENC). "It is an honor that I thought that I would never have," she says.
Her appointment to the ENC board comes after 10 months of work with the organization's transgender task force, formed to bring specific attention to issues facing the transgender community. She hopes to share her perspective regarding these issues in her role on the board.
