IN CONVERSATION: Jennifer Atilemile

from Shameless · host Shameless Media

Happy Thursday lovely people! Today on the show we have the formidable Jennifer Atilemile. Jennifer is an international model and writer who advocates for greater representation of racial and body diversity in the media, and who has very recently landed one of the biggest jobs of her career: A campaign with Victoria’s Secret. In this chat we cover everything from what she loves about the modelling industry, to why she feels every job she books is - in her own words - “a win for not just size diversity, but a win for the increase in racial and body diversity in advertising, too.” Jennifer is candid about the burnout that comes with being an activist in 2020, and how she feels about slacktivism online more than three months after the death of George Floyd made headlines across the world. You can find more from Jennifer on Instagram here, or you can check out her new pod! Just search ‘Here if You Need’ in your favourite pod app. Thank you so much to today’s sponsor, Dan Murphy’s and their new Seltzer range.
