Jazz, an 11-yr-old transgirl, has made many national television appearances on shows ranging from Oprah to 20/20 to Good
Morning America and has quickly become one of the strongest voices of trans youth today.
She is an incredibly intelligent, poised, and confident girl and has wonderfully supportive parents and siblings. She wants to "pay it forward" with all the love and support she has received from her family by helping raise money for medical grants for trans youth through the foundation she helped start with her parents (her father is an attorney), TransKids: Purple Rainbow Foundation.
Jazz and her family were recently profiled in the OWN documentary I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition.
Jazz was recently honored at the Trevor Live Gala, where she gave a touching acceptance speech.
She was also recently named in the Advocate's Forty Under 40, making her the youngest person ever to receive such an honor.
