An Iron-Willed Paraplegic Learns Compassion and Gratitude | Jesi Stracham | PBS American Portrait

"I was raised to believe..." Jesi Stracham of Iron Station, North Carolina, was left paralyzed and wheelchair-bound after a motorcycle collision in 2015. Instead of feeling limited by her injury, Jesi embraced the change, letting go of her preconceptions about life and allowing gratitude, faith and empowerment to guide her down a new path. Now Jesi leads the Wheel With Me Foundation and Wheel With Me LLC Consulting to help individuals see the opportunity in their obstacles and the power of a positive mindset. Watch Story of Us, NC: A PBS American Portrait Story, Tuesday, February 2, at 9 PM, on PBS NC.
