Jameela Jamil (b1986) British actress, activist, podcaster & TV host and judge.

Jameel Alia Jamil may be a beautiful woman but she wants us to think carefully about that.
As a child, born to a Pakistani father and a British Pakistani mother, she faced numerous health issues. As a teenager she had anorexia nervosa (14-17). Aged 17 she had a serious spinal injworldury after being struck by a car. Her recovery from the accident apparently changed her relationship with her body.

She is known for her Instagram account 'I weigh’
She realised that she had been conditioned to hate her body by a culture that profits from the self-loathing of young girls. She wants girls to be proud, for us to fell valuable…and look past the flesh on our bones.

In 2016 she relocated to the US. She hosts the TBS late-night game show The Misery Index and is a judge on Legendary.

Through her willingness to criticise her peers and the structure of the entertainment industry Jameela is a positive and visible role model for millions around the world.
