Summary
Teen activist and trailblazer Jazz Jennings - named one of The 25 Most Influential Teens of the year by Time - shares her very public transgender journey, as she inspires people to accept the differences in others while they embrace their own truths.
Jazz Jennings is one of the youngest and most prominent voices in the national discussion about gender identity. At the age of five, Jazz transitioned to life as a girl, with the support of her parents. A year later her parents allowed her to share her incredible journey in her first Barbara Walters interview, aired at a time when the public was much less knowledgeable about or accepting of the transgender community. This groundbreaking interview was followed over the years by other high-profile interviews, a documentary, the launch of her YouTube channel, a picture book, and her own reality TV series, I Am Jazz, making her one of the most recognizable activists for transgender teens, children, and adults.
In her remarkable memoir, Jazz reflects on these very public experiences and how they have helped shape the mainstream attitude toward the transgender community. But it hasn't all been easy. Jazz has faced many challenges, bullying, discrimination, and rejection, yet she perseveres as she educates others about her life as a transgender teen. Through it all her family has been beside her on this journey, standing together against those who don't understand the true meaning of tolerance and unconditional love. Now Jazz must learn to navigate the physical, social, and emotional upheavals of adolescence - particularly high school - complicated by the unique challenges of being a transgender teen. Making the journey from girl to woman is never easy - especially when you began your life in a boy's body.

Interview
I was researching what it was like for transgendered people for a job interview as an Occupational Therapist working in the field.
Found it a very valuable resource & also very enjoyable and enlightened to read

Jazz her own story must listen..
truly a remarkable journey Jazz has had from the joy to the sad. You will get drawn in to this book regardless of gender or thoughts, everyone should listen to this as this very brave young lady tells her own story in her own words. I'm proud of jazz and myself for being a human being who dose not judge others.
brilliant thank you Jazz.......

The BEST inspirational book for the transgender society!
If your transgender, you'll heard of Jazz Jennings. She has done a lot of hard work to help make the lives of transgender people much more enjoyable! I'm transgender but I wish I'd be able to be so confident about the situation. And, if you are transgender, listen to this audiobook. It has helped me to realise that if Jazz hadn't been transgender, I'm sure there would have been nobody to support the transgender community and so we should all thank Jazz.
