What do you weigh?
Known for her role in the critically claimed TV show The Good Place Jameela Jamil is now also known as an activist fighting for women's rights and some general good old common sense really.
In 2009 Jameela was discovered by a talent agent and was chosen to host a British pop culture show called T4. Four years later, she became the first-ever female host of The Official Chart show on BBC 1 Radio. The day that her position and ratings were announced, which were way higher than anyone had anticipated, the only thing that got reported of her was that she had gained weigh. This was difficult to deal with but made Jameela fight back since she suffered from anorexia between the ages of 14 to 17 and still suffers body dysmorphia.
In 2018, while working in the US she started noticing yet another ridiculous trend going on Instagram. This was the family photo of the Kardashians with their weigh written on their chests. This sparked some well-deserved anger and creativity in Jameela.
Jameela started the Instagram account @I_Weigh which encourages women to post images of themselves listing their accomplishments.
"I'm angry with irresponsible celebrities who take the platform that they are given and they use it so greedily" - spoke Jameela to the 2019 MAKERS conference.
