Congrats are in order for Caitlyn Jenner and her powerful girl squad!
E!’s acclaimed series I Am Cait has tied with TLC’s I Am Jazz to win the honor of Outstanding Reality Program at the 27th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
In its applauded first season, the show documented Jenner’s transition and her introduction into the world as a transgender woman, including legally changing her name and accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPYs. Now currently in its second season, I Am Cait follows Jenner and her friends, including trans activists Candis Cayne, Chandi Moore and Jenny Boylan, as they embark on a cross-country road trip to raise awareness for LGBT issues.

GLAAD CEO and president Sarah Kate Ellis also released the following statement along with the announcement:
