[@Styl4x]

I feel like she doesn't even know she's stunning

[@FabalociousDee]

She knows. She just values herself for more than her looks.

[@cinemar]

She knows.

[@vic5015]

Pretty sure she knows.

[@roselialeontoo]

She knows. She's on a show where she's called beautiful and perfect all the time.

[@lemon-dg5lp]

bye girl she’s talked about knowing lol she knows

[@alexperaza9475]

I'm continually astonished that The Good Place was her FIRST real acting job. She's not just a great actress but she's a gifted comedy actress. Her delivery and physical comedy is what you expect from a seasoned pro. She really needs to be cast in more things.

Unfortunately this season coming up is the last for The Good Place, but hopefully that means we'll see her in more great shows in the future, whether as a main character or a guest. ;)

[@chikitita6763]

Wait, what??? TIL

[@iamfishmind]

she was a tv presenter for many years in the uk... so not too much of a leap. and she always wore dresses like that too lol

1:44 "I think trying is winning and everything else is just cake and orgasms" my new favourite quote...

[@meteorrejector]

i loved hearing the person laughing behind the camera. so real ✨

[@1peeptom]

I cudn't agree more! Usually its irritating when a person chips in with a rejoinder or Q. But this lady's laugh was soooo mirthful & enjoyable!

[@JenJenwashere]

"Trying is winning" Nice. I will take that with me.

[@HanFan524]

I was just captivated the whole time by her eyes and her personality, I aspire to be that effortlessly charming and comfortable in my own skin

[@lockekappa500]

I think it's important to also reflect on her struggle to get to the point she's at, and to remember and respect your own struggle. Its all part of the process. :)

[@malkim8232]

She has a whole life story that I wouldnt have imagined of. What a woman.

[@MandaBeanz]

I don't know a lot about Jameela but after watching this I love her and wish I was friends with her 😂

[@v1d300]

She is so lovely. Watching this video encourages me to slide in her DMs just to be her friend. :D

[@lavane26]

I didn't know she was partially deaf! That makes me love her even more, to know that she's so resilient and strong and bold, and I love so much of what she represents, her personality, her defiance. I love her.

her first kiss was with 21????? I'm 17 and never kissed, I feel better now

[@s9738919e]

thats sooo young you have no rush trust me, its a myth that theres a timeline for everything.

[@ValeriaGarcia-zi8sv]

I had my first kiss a month before I turned 18. Don't rush it, do it with whoever you feel comfortable kissing and whenever you feel comfortable doing it. English is not my main language and I'm pretty sure I said that weirdly, but I hope I got my message across

[@charis7487]

Ikr? I am kind of relieved, I’m 19✌️

You'll regret it if you do it because of some imaginary timeline. Everything is better when it's natural and genuine. :)

"Who do I fancy now? Oh no, am I dead inside? Am I dead below the waist?" 😭😂😭😂

[@MakeedaRoberts]

She’s so incredibly intelligent

[@b-m9480]

I guess from the perspective of an American, having a British accent does make them seem like they have a higher intellect than their counterparts across the pond.

[@mystaminacantakethis]

No it’s her dedication to a good cause, her wit, emotional intelligence and smart remarks that make it obvious she is an intelligent person.

[@samholder196]

Good lord she's lovely. You can tell she grew up hard, and is now basking in life as it arrives to her.

[@RK-ep8qy]

My respect for this woman has just increased by a 1,000 gosh what a brilliant person

[@MusicTheoryInAMinute]

I just gained a whole new appreciation for Jameela! She is hilarious.

[@bicooo1]

honestly i find it so relieving to hear someone else talk about having their first kiss later than most other people, especially someone as awesome and influential as her. I had my first kiss at 21 too, but it sucks that it often gets portrayed as something bad or stupid or something that makes you a nerd. I agree with her though, I can recommend it, my first kiss was really nice too :)

[@Prerona11]

yes me too and i feel so old and pressured to do other things soon xD

[@bicooo1]

@@Prerona11 Don't! f you're talking about losing your virginity, doing that later in life is actually more common than having a 'late' first kiss I think. It such a complicated, delicate thing with so much emotions, you should take it seriously, I think. There are actually lots of famous people who didn't have sex till later in life, gorgeous and cool people like Adriana Lima and Julianne Hough (often because of waiting till marriage but it can be for any number of reasons)

[@arturofernandez4058]

Me too, and I am a nerd. I don't feel bad about any of those things

[@Prerona11]

@@bicooo1 yeah you are so right, some of my friends who had rushedly done it, now come to me and say you should wait for the right person and right time.

[@sophiaspiros]

I was 18 almost 19, saying that now sounds quite young compared to 21 but at the time before I had my first kiss I felt so old and behind on things, especially after hearing all of your friends talk about theirs since your like 15/16, but I am so happy I didn't rush into it because i had it with the right guy and as first kisses go it was pretty cute, i feel like a lot of people feel rushed into it because they feel pressure hearing everyone else talking about it, but in reality those people are the exception

[@bibiblue310]

She's delightful and so self reflective AND an brilliant actress

[@ianbrundige9069]

Weird note but the way her bangs and shadow around her nose create a diamond on her forehead in this video is so compelling.

[@catmaster17]

Omg she's sooo cute and I dont mean that just physically she's reaching cinamonroll levels of precious. I can't even. 💗💗💗

I would love to talk to Jameela. I am hard of hearing/deaf and what she said about being it- it DOES makes you socially inept. I also struggled making friends... I hope that she also speaks up for the HOH community. She doesn't have to but share her experiences. It is wonderful to find people in the media whom went through what you have been to. I have partial.hearing but I wear hearing aids- every case is different. 💕 Much health to you, Jameela!!!
