Season 7 of I Am Jazz includes Hope Giselle in a handful of interesting episodes. She's a motivational speaker who goes on a date with Sander Jennings.

In one of the highlight reels on her Instagram page, she provides tips and information to help others better understand the transgender community. She includes an ally guide that’s meant to help cisgender people educate themselves about what it means to be transgender and to embrace LGBTQ individuals.
Based on some of her Instagram pics, she’s been known to rock a bikini or a fancy club dress every now and then. She also posts a lot of glamorous selfies with beautiful hair and makeup to complete each look.
Going on vacations is something else Hope takes super seriously. Most recently, she spent time in Cancun and looks like she totally enjoyed her time on the beach.
