The activist, dressed in a long brown PVC trench coat, a short black mini skirt and black knee-high boots, put on an animated display and at one point squatted down on the pavement
The animated display comes just a week after the podcast host slammed the return of ‘heroin chic’ in an impassioned speech at the Glamour Women of The Year Awards (pictured)
The star candidly confessed that her ‘body is broken forever’ in an impassioned speech at the Glamour Women of The Year Awards.
Jameela last won an award at the ceremony in 2013, when she was named Radio Personality of the Year, and reminisced about how it was an exciting time for women in terms of body positivity.
However she expressed her sadness at the return of ‘heroin chic’ as she gave an impassioned speech on how women are once again ‘suffering and risking our lives’ in the pursuit of the ‘same Snapchat face’.
Urging women and girls to be kinder to themselves, she said: ‘I beg of you, as I stand here with a body broken forever because of what I put it through for our society’s beauty standards… to not sell your old lady self short.’
Jameela began her speech by speaking about the optimism of the 2010s, before sharing her concern that there had been a back track.
The Good Place star said: ‘Boys are encouraged to build their bodies, and build their futures and legacies.
‘While women and girls are starving, injecting and hurting – and sometimes literally dying – for the fastest possible route to the ever-changing, fickle beauty standard.’
During her speech she urged women to be kinder to themselves, she said: ‘I beg of you, as I stand here with a body broken forever because of what I put it through for our society’s beauty standards… to not sell your old lady self short’ (Pictured in 2009)
‘Why is women’s discomfort and harm still so hyper normalised?’ the actress asked.
Jameela went on to issue a plea to all women and girls not to bow to misogyny and instead make decision that strengthen – not hurt – them.
In her powerful speech Jameela said: ‘The patriarchy seeks to distract, destroy and erase [women] by the time we get older because we become harder to control. Because we become too valuable.
‘And we must not find out, otherwise we might start spending more of our energy on things that could even the playing field in this world.’
Continuing with a smirk, she added: ‘We might start getting proper sleep. We might eat enough nutrients.
‘We might become too happy in ourselves and genuinely confident in who we are. Can you imagine what we could do?’.
