About
You will never know what surprise nature can get you. The central person of the project is named Jazz Jennings together with other members of the cast – the Jennings family. Jazz is a typical teenager from South Florida. However, there’s a thing that makes this teen extremely peculiar. Jazz was born a boy from the physical point of view. However, when he was four years old, he was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. It made Jazz one of the youngest people in the world suffering from gender dysphoria.
Greg and Jeanette, parents of Jazz, realized that they need to be a support to her female personality. At five years old, she became a true female from both interior and exterior. In 2007, Barbara Walters had Jazz interviewed about her identity – at this very moment Jazz got her worldwide popularity. She participated in publishing of a book about her titled I Am Jazz. Besides, she’s a popular YouTube blogger.
I Am Jazz follows the Jennings family and their usual life. Jazz goes to high school, facing the challenge of being a transgender among other teenagers at school. All members of her family share their points of view on Jazz and her gender issue. In every new episode, they share their worries about their beloved child and her future.
Production

The title is taken from a documentary released in 2011 titled I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition. The release of the film was carried out by OWN.
Reception
Critic Brian Lowry says that sensitively makes the series admirable. It’s simple and hearty, capturing a hard challenge of personal gender identity. At times, it looks like an educational process. James Poniewozik calls I Am Jazz a captivating story of a transitioned teenager. However, this story is a lot more than a story of a single person. Jazz herself is very open-minded with a lot of honesty and humor.
