When Jason E. Jones had been experiencing months of feeling fatigued on and off he didn’t think anything of it. The self-taught Chicago-based artist later learned his fatigue was an early warning of kidney failure. Jones shares his journey and cautionary tale in this Facebook Live interview. In addition to managing life after a life-saving kidney transplant, Jones travels the country as a full-time artist exhibiting his work, which now helps him to tell his powerful health story to others.
