Marion Jones, a former track star, discusses her journey of self-forgiveness and coming out as gay in an interview with SELF.

After serving a prison sentence, Jones returned to basketball and took a break from the spotlight. Now, at 48 years old, she is ready to reintroduce herself and empower the next generation of athletes. She emphasizes the importance of living authentically and not being defined by past mistakes.
