This 14-year-old transgender activist just got her own TV show

14-year-old trans activist Jazz Jennings has been tapped by TLC for an upcoming reality series titled All That Jazz. Jennings, a young author and star of the documentary I Am Jazz: A Family in Transition, will be followed by cameras once again as she navigates high school and faces the joys and tribulations of young adulthood. And it couldn’t have come at a better time.

I remember when he won Homecoming King. He was so excited when he hit me up. “I won homecoming king in the south! I won homecoming king in the fucking Bible Belt!”

You deserved it, kid.

CultureHISTORY: #BlackLivesMatter Protests - April 2015

PLEASE DON'T FORGET THE WOMEN!

I’ve noticed a lack of awareness for black female victims of police, so I’ve made a list.

Tanesha Anderson (37) was slammed against the pavement by police officers. She was apparently disturbing the peace in the neighborhood.

Duanna Johnson (43) was tortured, then shot in the head by police officers. She was transgender.

Rekia Boyd (22) was shot in the head by a police officer after someone “threatened” said officer…with a cell phone.

Aiyana Stanley-Jones (7) was shot in the head while sleeping during a police raid. This was for a reality show, apparently.

Tarika Wilson (26) and her 14-month old son were shot by police moments after they broke into her house. A companion was suspected of dealing drugs.

Miriam Carey (34) was killed by police officers while trying to protect her daughter. It was apparently a traffic incident, and she wanted to protect the baby after confronting guns.

Tyisha Williams (19) was shot 27 times by cops, minutes after her family called 911, worried about her not waking up. She had a flat tire during an evening with her friends and was waiting in a locked car for help.

Kendra James (21) was shot while trying to flee from a police officer. She was wanted for failing to appear in court.

Shelley Frey (27) was shot in the neck during a police chase on suspect of shoplifting. The police officer feared for his safety because of the position he was in, even though he could’ve easily shot a tire instead.

Shereese Francis (30) was suffocated by police and then put into cardiac arrest. She was mentally ill.

Alesia Thomas (35) was beaten to death during a struggle with a police officer. She’d been arrested because her children were left outside a police station.

Darnesha Harris (17) was shot several times after crashing into three parked cars and a bystander (who suffered moderate injuries).

Mackala Ross (13) and her mom Delores Epps (53) were killed in a car by a speeding police officer with no siren.

Robin Taneisha Williams (21) was killed when a state trooper who was driving drunk crashed into her car.

Some of these women committed crimes, but none of them deserved to be killed. Please remember their names.

All black lives matter.

Sunday, April 19th

One week ago, Freddie Gray was arrested in Baltimore for no apparent reason. While in police custody, he was beaten so severely that his spine became 80% severed from his neck. He died in the hospital this morning.

“According to a police timeline he was fine when he was loaded into a van to be taken to the district station, but was injured by the time he got out. He suffered a broken vertebra and an injured voice box, his family said.”
