Jazz Jenningsis on her most intimate journey yet in the new season ofI Am Jazz.
“Ahmir and I are not together anymore, but I wanted his support as a friend,” she says.
Before Jazz goes into her surgery, the doctors tell her that there is “uncertainty you have to account for.”
While the teenager is hopeful this will be the last surgery she needs, there seems to be a complication after the procedure is done, and Jennings’ mother Jeanette shouts, “We need a nurse now!” in a panic.

The new season will also see Jennings plan a massive fundraising event to help her friend Noelle raise money for her own gender affirmation surgery. Plus, Jennings is at her breaking point in the teaser when deciding on which college to attend.
Jennings is torn between Harvard University or the faraway Pomona College, and Jeannette advises her daughter not to attend school in California, telling her that she is “too unstable” to be that far.
“Between graduating high school, putting this drag show together, and preparing for college, I feel like there is a 50 lb. weight on my shoulder,” Jennings says.

“After careful consideration I have decided to take a break before starting at Harvard,” she said on Instagram. “It wasn’t an easy decision but it is the right one for me. These past few years have been so full and busy that I realized I could use some time to refocus and recenter to be the strongest version of myself.”
