I Am may refer to:
I Am Jazz (announced as All That Jazz) is an American reality television series on TLC about a transgender girl named Jazz Jennings. The 11-part series features Jazz and her family "dealing with typical teen drama through the lens of a transgender youth."
I Am Jazz premiered on July 15, 2015, and has received very positive reviews.
Jazz Jennings, a South Florida teen, was assigned male at birth. Aged 5, Jennings was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in childhood, making her one of the youngest publicly documented people to be identified as gender dysphoric. Her parents, Greg and Jeanette, decided to support her female gender identity by her fifth birthday. Jazz has been in the spotlight since 2007, when at age 6, she did an interview with Barbara Walters discussing her gender identity. She did follow-up interviews, launched a foundation, and co-wrote a book, also called I Am Jazz. She has also posted videos about her life on YouTube.
I Am Jazz focuses on the "Jennings" family (the surname "Jennings" is a pseudonym, and any reference to the family's exact location is obscured) and their day-to-day lives. Jazz, who is about to go into high school, grapples with the usual teen angst in addition to her own challenges as a transgender girl. Her family, which includes her three siblings, parents and grandparents, also talk about their experiences.
Jazz is a music genre that originated from African American communities of New Orleans in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emerged in the form of independent traditional and popular musical styles, all linked by the common bonds of African American and European American musical parentage with a performance orientation. Jazz spans a period of over a hundred years, encompassing a very wide range of music, making it difficult to define. Jazz makes heavy use of improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swing note, as well as aspects of European harmony, American popular music, the brass band tradition, and African musical elements such as blue notes and African-American styles such as ragtime. Although the foundation of jazz is deeply rooted within the black experience of the United States, different cultures have contributed their own experience to the music as well. Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as "one of America's original art forms".
TLC is an initialism that normally refers to the phrase "tender loving care", however is also used for "time, love and care".

There's been good years and there's been walls
There's been times I've been walkin' tall
I have loved and I have lost
I have lived and I've paid the cost
I guess the good Lord made me a man
And I am.
I have dreams and I have soul
I've been blessed like no one I know
I've seen heaven and I've known hell
I've been told things that I never tell
Yeah, the good Lord made me a man
And I am.
This old world keeps on turnin'
And I have no regrets
Every night I know I got a good hand to hold
When I lay down my head.
I'll keep on till I die
I'll just do it and never ask why
See the good Lord made me a man
And I am.
Yes, the good Lord made me a man
