  Jameela: [00:00:00] Hello and welcome to another episode of I Weigh with Jamila Jamil, a podcast against shame. I hope you are, not even going to say well, I hope you are managing to even hold yourself together in 50 million pieces. Well done if you got up today and even if you didn’t, well done for opening your eyes because shit is bleak, and I’m very proud of you, and I want you to know that. Um, I wanted to bring you a galvanizing and energizing episode, and I think I’ve done just that because I have truly the most galvanizing and energizing woman in my industry. One of the most inspiring women, to me at least, in the world. I love her so much. She is a hugely celebrated and decorated UK singer, she’s a songwriter, she’s an actor, she’s a TV personality and a judge. And now she’s an author of a fucking brilliant book called MILF. Her name is Paloma Faith, and if you are not lucky enough to yet know her, I’m so pleased to be able
