Jazz & Jumper

Celebrity Artist, LGBTQ Activist & Humanitarian Ben Workman aka Jumper Maybach has a new fan, transgender personality, Jazz Jennings. Jumper recently gifted Jennings a one-of-a-kind work of art titled “From Darkness to Light #5.” Jazz Jennings is an LGBTQ rights activist and television personality, notable for being one of the youngest publicly documented people to be identified as transgender, and for being the youngest person to become a national transgender figure.

“I am now officially Jumper’s #1 fan,” states Jennings. “Jumper is so talented and his story really touched my heart. I believe that we all have a destined calling. I love his motto! I’m certainly on the same page. I know I’m only a teenager, but it’s my mission to spread my message of acceptance, tolerance and unconditional love.”

Jennings received national attention in 2007 when an interview with Barbara Walters aired on 20/20, which led to other high-profile interviews and appearances. Jennings stars in the TLC reality TV series, I Am Jazz, which focuses on her life with her family as a teenager and as a transgender youth.
“Jazz Jennings is truly an inspiration and I am honored to call Jazz my new friend,” states Maybach. “Jazz has given transgender youth a voice and her courage continues to motivate me in the battle for LGBTQ equality.”

Throughout his flourishing artistic career, Jumper has taken the time to give back to multiple LGBT organizations including GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign, Matthew Shepard Foundation, the Trevor Project and the Montrose Center, Houston’s LGBT community center.
