What started as an idea and an Instagram page became a platform and community of change makers who come together to share ideas, experiences, and ultimately mobilize activism. Through original content, editorial, and podcasts, the platform explores social issues that stem from mental health to climate change to the representation of marginalized groups. In April 2020, I Weigh with Jameela Jamil Podcast launched with Earwolf in which Jameela speaks to different thought-leaders, performers, activists, influencers, and friends about how they are working through their past shames to find where their value truly lies. With hilarious and vulnerable conversations, I Weigh will amplify and empower diverse voices in an accessible way to celebrate progress, not perfection. In May 2020, the I Weigh platform expanded onto YouTube to bring viewers fresh, original content to keep everyone informed and inspired with a mix of interviews, BTS, mini docs and round table discussions.
