Jazz Jennings
Activist and transgender teenager, star of ­“I Am Jazz”

If you don’t already know 15-year-old Jazz Jennings, you will. The much-anticipated second season of “I Am Jazz,” the TLC reality series focused on her life as a trans teenager, will begin later this year. Jennings made her debut at age 6 in a “20/20” interview with Barbara Walters, then co-founded the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation, wrote a children’s book and became an activist. “Jazz’s visibility and advocacy for the transgender community have helped build understanding and move acceptance forward,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, chief executive of GLAAD.
