Abstract |
Jazz Jennings is an LGBT rights activist, a television personality, and a remarkable inspiration to many. Jazz is one of the youngest people to be identified as transgender, at age five. Her story and struggle with finding her true self has greatly impacted the life of others, including myself. Jazz is very vocal and passionate in order to help transgender children know that they are not alone. I created a video based on Jazz’s book, Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen. Within my video, I share the story of Jazz’s life, the challenges she has faced, and her efforts fighting for LGBT rights. As a future educator, I find it extremely important that students accept and understand all differences. The video that I created brings awareness to the LGBT community and enforces Jazz’s message of loving yourself and knowing that it is okay to be different from others.
