By: Caryn Robbins Jan. 02, 2018
I AM JAZZ returns tonight at 10/9c with a new Jazz emerging, eager to expand her social circle and explore dating. But Jazz is also hiding a dark secret about her unhealthy eating habits. Later, Hurricane Irma makes landfall in Florida, threatening the safety of the Jennings family.
In the clip below, Jazz is discussing gender confirmation surgery with her friend Skylar who recently recovered from the surgery.
In addition to the drama and angst that comes with being a teenager, Jazz faces an increasingly hostile world of discrimination, hate speech, online bullying and an array of misconceptions associated with what it means to be transgender. Though a difficult road lies ahead, Jazz has the unwavering support of her parents, siblings and friends.
Along with being a full-time student, Jazz devotes her time to being a transgender advocate, sharing her story with people across the country in an effort to educate and inspire others. In April of 2016, I AM JAZZwas awarded the GLAAD Media Award for "Outstanding Reality Program." In August of 2016 she was named one of Teen Vogue's "21 under 21." Jazz and her parents founded the Transkids Purple Rainbow Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to support transgender youth and their families.
