Jameela Jamil posts Instagram about the stretch marks on her boobs
Boob stretch marks. A lot of us have them. But Jameela Jamil has decided to nickname hers "babe marks".
In an Instagram post, Jamil wrote about how she feels about the stretch marks on her breasts. "Boob stretch marks are a normal, beautiful thing," she wrote. "I have stretch marks all over my body and I hereby rename them all Babe Marks.
"They are a sign my body dared to take up extra space in a society that demands out eternal thinness."
"They are my badge of honour for resisting society’s weaponising of the female form," she continued.
Jamil added that her face is white because she wears "SPF 100 sunscreen like a boss."
"PS. LOVE YOUR BROWN SKIN. I tan responsibly but I love to tan!" Jamil continued. "I love to embrace and celebrate my heritage."
