Jamil is regularly outspoken about feminist issues, and her Create & Cultivate talk was no different. The actress encouraged women at the event to pursue the careers they wanted saying, "I was told I was too old, too fat, and too ethnic for Hollywood, but I’m here today. Don’t listen to people who project their fears on you. "

She also explained that she's ready to see the world change saying, "The next generation is fucking done being excluded and looking up to a white straight thin version of what we are supposed to be. We’re done with the dinosaurs… and I’m here to kill the last of them."

Having already taken the Kardashians to task on social media for promoting so-called weight loss products, Jamil discussed the unfair pressure put on women to look a certain way. She said, "If a man is attractive, it’s considered a bonus. For us, it’s the basic foundation of our worth. We have to be the Victoria’s Secret model, but they just have to be successful enough to fuck the Victoria’s Secret model."

Most of all, Jamil advocated self-love, and the importance of looking after yourself. The British star explained, "Build yourself up from the inside. Go to therapy! Spend all the money you’d spend on bullshit face creams on saving yourself first. You are the most important person in every way."

Create & Cultivate was founded by Jaclyn Johnson, and the nationwide conference for women regularly gathers the most inspiring CEOs, content creators, and celebrities like Jennifer Hudson, Meghan Markle, Lauren Conrad, and Kim Kardashian.
