Jazz Jennings
Jazz Jennings is an American media personality, author, and LGBTQ+ activist whose public story began unusually early. She first attracted national attention as a child, appearing on television to speak openly about growing up transgender. What began as a family story gradually became a broader public conversation, carried through interviews, books, advocacy, and her long-running reality series *I Am Jazz*.
Jennings has written about her experiences in I Am Jazz and *Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen*, while also working with organizations supporting transgender youth. Her public work has often centered on a simple subject: what it means to grow up while other people are still deciding how to understand you. She graduated from Harvard University in 2025, with a degree in Art, Film, and Visual Studies.
