    You could never convince me Jameela’s stories are all true. There’s no way she has a story to fit every single conversation ever.

  • No shame, no judgement

    What surprises me every week is that Jemeela has a correlating story of her own to add to the mix that’s equally horrifying and hilarious. Please never change!🫶
