"For the last couple of years, I''ve been so busy I haven''t had time to learn and I think that contributed to a lot of the mistakes I''ve made. This has given me space to really investigate, learn, read and educate myself. I was so busy (before), I didn''t have time to really know what I was talking about all the time and I feel very grateful for this pause in being able to, hopefully, become a less problematic, less ignorant person," Jameela said.

She added: "I think I''ll come out of this a more calm, thoughtful and careful person, more aware of the damage of having a 280-character Twitter word count. Now I have the podcast and YouTube channel. I don''t have to compact all of my thoughts and that''s amazing. Now I have time and space for nuance and context."
