The I Weigh community started on Instagram, and the platform grew with time. Jameela Jamil used the social media platform to highlight artists, activists, and different movements in an effort to help people grow and learn (via Instagram). Now, the movement has grown into to a podcast where Jamil interviews different celebrities, influencers, and advocates who challenge societal norms.
For example, Jamil had activist and actress Jane Fonda — who's had a stunning transformation — on "I Weigh" to discuss topics like climate change and mental health. When discussing Fonda's work with climate justice, the "Grace and Frankie" star said, "When we are not dealing as individuals, but dealing as a collective, we have power" (via Vanity Fair). When speaking about the episode, Jamil said that she typically has young activists on to "help amplify their voices to other people." However, it was nice to have Fonda on, who is part of the generation "responsible for the issues," to discuss how they can work together to fix them.
"I Weigh" moved from just being an Instagram account to becoming a podcast and YouTube show in March 2020 in an effort to expand its community (via TheWrap). This is just the beginning for Jamil and her work to make the world a more understanding and better place.
