Jameela Jamil gives impassioned speech about how her 'body is broken forever' by beauty standards and slams return of 'heroin chic' as she's named Glamour's Game Changing Voice Of The Year

As an ardent fan of Jameela Jamil, I am constantly in awe of her unwavering courage and commitment to breaking societal beauty standards and promoting body positivity. Her life experiences have not only shaped her into a powerful voice for change but also serve as a reminder that our bodies are more than just physical appearances.


Jameela Jamil shared that her body has been irrevocably impacted by societal beauty norms, earning her the title of Glamour’s trailblazing voice of the year.

On Tuesday, the award ceremony held at Raffles in London saw the 38-year-old actress and activist being bestowed with an honor.

In 2013, Jameela received an award titled “Radio Personality of the Year” during a ceremony, which was a thrilling period for women advocating for body positivity, as she recollected later on.

Nevertheless, she conveyed her distress upon the resurgence of ‘heroin chic’, passionately articulating her concerns that women are yet again enduring hardships and jeopardizing their well-being in search of the same idealized appearance often associated with Snapchat filters.

In a heartfelt plea, she asked the women and girls to treat themselves with kindness: “I implore you, seeing me standing here, bearing a body scarred by the expectations of societal beauty norms… please, do not undervalue your unique selves.

Initially, Jameela expressed optimism regarding the 2010s era during her speech, but later she voiced her worries as progress seems to have taken a step backward.

A notable actor commented: “Boys are often motivated to shape their physiques and create their future successes and lasting impacts.

‘As women and girls endure hunger, pain, and even death, they strive relentlessly for the quickest path to a constantly shifting, capricious ideal of beauty.’

‘Why is women’s discomfort and harm still so hyper normalised?’ the actress asked. 

Jameela subsequently urged all females and adolescent girls to resist misogyny and instead choose actions that empower, rather than harm them.

In a compelling address, Jameela pointed out that the patriarchy attempts to sideline, dismantle, and obliterate women as we grow older since we become more challenging to manage due to our increased worth.

Furthermore, let’s avoid discovering information that may lead us to invest additional energy into actions aimed at creating a more equitable society.

With a grin, she chimed in: ‘Perhaps we’ll finally get a good night’s rest. Maybe we’ll manage to consume the right amount of nutrients.’

Could it be that we may find ourselves overly content with our own selves, deeply assured of our identity? Just envision the possibilities if we were to channel this self-assuredness into action!

Each year, the Women of the Year Awards hosted by Glamour make a comeback to honor some of the most prominent figures across music, TV, movies, and sports industries.

The gathering, funded by Samsung and its latest Galaxy Ring, celebrates the pioneering activists and trailblazers championing women’s equality.

38-year-old actress Jodie Turner-Smith was honored with the Trailblazer award at an event, which she presided over. Her friend and fellow actor Naomie Harris, aged 48 and known for her role in James Bond films, presented the trophy to her.

The star-studded evening also saw Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, 29, named as Game Changing Actor, following in the footsteps of last years Oscar Winner Adriana DeBose. 

Once more, acclaimed comedian Katherine Ryan graced the stage in west London for the annual ceremony – marking her fourth consecutive appearance – and received the prestigious title of Feminist Hero Award.

As a devoted admirer speaking on my own behalf, I’m sharing that the legendary figure, Pamela Anderson, who is now 57 years old, was bestowed with this year’s Glamour Impact Award. In a heartfelt address, she bravely disclosed her past experiences with sexual abuse, which were deeply moving to hear.

In a different location, Chloe Bailey, aged 26, was awarded the prestigious title of Musician of The Year. Notably, she has followed her elder sister Halle Bailey, who received the same honor last year.

Simultaneously, the ex-Love Island contestant, Cally Jane Beech (aged 32), was recognized for her activism and bravery in addressing the issue of sexually explicit deepfakes, having personally experienced this challenge.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’m delighted to share that Francesca Amewudah- Rivers, a remarkable 26-year-old talent, has been honored with The Theatre Award. She bravely persevered through despicable racist slurs that came her way following her casting opposite Tom Holland in the timeless tale of Romeo & Juliet.

22-year-old track and field athlete Keely Hodgkinson, who won the Olympian title, stated that she graciously accepted the Sporting Hero Trophy not just for herself, but as a representative of the entire world of track and field and women’s sports in general.
