Jameela Jamil is a writer, actor and activist, working towards a world that is more kind, supportive, loving and equal for everyone. In 2018, she founded the iweigh movement on instagram, which encourages people to upload non-edited selfies with text that describes things that they are grateful for or are proud of. Jameela promotes inclusivity and is not afraid in discussing how the influences of social media negatively impact on one's body image and self esteem. It is Jameela's activism for disabled rights, body positivity, body autonomy, racial inclusivity, and much much more that makes her our inspiring woman this month.
