TKPRF Board Members
Greg & Jeanette
Greg & Jeanette are the proud parents of four children, Arial age 15, identical twins Sander & Griffen age 13, and Jazz age 11, who is their transangel. Jazz was born with Gender Identity Disorder, and diagnosed at age 3. Since then, Greg and Jeanette have supported her, and have made a point of sharing Jazz’s story to help other families. In 2007, they filmed a Barbara Walters special with 20/20 entitled, “My Secret Self”, which was updated in 2008. In 2009, they shared their story with Australia in the 60 Minutes special, “My Secret Self”, with Liz Hayes. Now that Jazz is 11, and preparing to face puberty, they have decided to explore the next chapter in the lives of their family in the documentary film, “I am Jazz: A Family In Trasition”. This documentary will debut on the OWN network on 11/27/2011. Greg & Jeanette, along with another family, started the TKPRF in 2007 to help other transkids, and spread the message of unconditional love, tolerance and acceptance.
