She then vowed to be "committed toward bettering myself" at the end of the honest message. She wrote on Friday, June 18, "As many of you have noticed, over the past few years, I have gained a substantial amount of weight. I suffer from binge-eating disorder, a disease in which I'm not only addicted to food, but I eat it in large quantities." Jazz, 20, explained that her "binging," along with an "increased appetite" due to some of her medications, has caused her to gain...

I’m so proud to bring you our annual Pride Issue, which highlights the joys and struggles of trans youth. Our charismatic cover subject, 20-year-old Jazz Jennings, made headlines in 2007 at age 6 when she gave a nationally televised interview to Barbara Walters about identifying as a girl. That led to Jennings’ popularity as a TV personality and YouTube sensation and her becoming a vital role model for so many in the trans community.
“It’s not hyperbolic to say that Jazz has actually saved lives,” says GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis. “She’s shown trans youth that you can be happy, healthy and accepted. And in the trans community, representation matters greatly. So many trans youth are at risk and have contemplated or attempted suicide, so seeing someone like Jazz is a bright light for them.”

In 2007, six-year-old Jazz Jennings went on national television to tell Barbara Walters the same thing she’d been telling her parents, siblings and anyone else who would listen: She was, despite her birth certificate’s insistence otherwise, a girl.
Shy and sweet, Jennings answered Walters’ probing questions with the clarity and patience of someone used to explaining herself over and over again. “She was so charismatic, so charming and so clearly herself,” Laverne Cox says of first seeing that “20/20” interview. “Her humanity was so on display that you couldn’t deny she had the right to be who she was.” It was a watershed moment for transgender visibility in media, not least because it made Jennings one of the youngest documented trans people to speak her truth for millions of viewers to hear.
It’d be easy for Jennings to say she always knew that moment would be life-changing.

Lila Meltzer wants to push back on society's assumptions of women and let them reveal their true selves. Women are often judged for their age, their career choices, their education, their parenting, their style - the list goes on. That's why 15-year-old Lila created the Instagram account @her.secret.identity to look past the stereotypes and let women talk about their true experiences in their own words.
The idea behind @her.secret.identity is simple. Women share what people think they are versus what their "secret identity" truly is. When Lila started the account back in January, she put her own identity first. "People think I have it all together" shields what's going on behind the scenes: "I really struggle." Lila already feels the weight of society's expectations on her own life. "I feel like I'm overlooked or judged by others," she explained.

Does the first season of the 1969 TV show on ABC deliver the nostalgia you're looking for? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like 1969 is cancelled or renewed for season two.

Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we'd like to offer you the chance to rate all of the 1969 season one episodes here. *Status update below.

1969 was a storied year in American life. Now ABC has introduced the 1969 TV show, a docu-series that aims to explore the rarely told stories behind celebrated (and infamous) people and events of the time. Can it earn the kind of Nielsen ratings that will convince ABC to make another season (perhaps based on a different year), or is this a one-and-done kind of program? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

We are only one day from the premiere the most anticipated new series of the summer, the Jamey Giddens-penned Ambitions. Brely Evans stars as Rondell Lancaster, the sister of Atlanta Mayor Evan Lancaster (Brian J. White) and manager of the Thelma's Place restaurant. As the new face of an anti-gentrification campaign, she never thought would become a crusader for the people, but it's a badge she wears with pride – and nobody is removing it.
Check out what Evans had to say when We Love Soaps traveled to the set in Atlanta back in April.
We Love Soaps: What was your first reaction when you read the script for Ambitions?
Brely Evans: When I read the audition sides I thought to myself, “I know her,” because she’s me. She’s outspoken and not afraid to have an opinion. She really doesn’t give a f*** if someone has something opposing to say.

Jazz Jennings underwent major life moments in Season 5 of her TLC reality show, “I Am Jazz.” The reality star, who was assigned male at birth but knew herself to be female at the age of five, finally received gender confirmation surgery at the age of 17.

Almost a year later, she says she is “feeling great.” Speaking further on her emotional experience, she adds, “The surgery really brought me a great sense of peace because I finally had that mind-body alignment that I had been looking for my entire life.
