With random tangents, anecdotes, and grammatically questionable sentences, join Jamilah every Thursday as she talks about anything and everything that pops into her mind while accomplishing the day-to-day task of being a woman in this confusing, evolving, scary lifetime.

163: simply... an AI school 07.11.2026

I understand being overworked in education and needing some assistance, but the reliance on artificial intelligence is simply getting out of hand and is actively killing us. Stop telling me to "just ask Chat." I would rather think for myself, not lose my creativity, and do everything I can to do my part in not destroying the environment as well as the communities affected by the massive...

162: simply... acknowledging racial disparities 01.11.2026

Mind you, the coworker that said we are all the same recently told me she thought my natural hair (an afro) was a wig. As much as I think, overall, my new place of employment is a lot better for me and my career, there are a couple of things that need to be addressed/vented about. link to all the things: simplyjamilah.com/linkinbio

161: simply... a serial job hopper 23.10.2026

I've spent most of my 20s working multiple jobs at a time, to financially survive and figure out my career. It's okay to not know but... I am a serial job hopper. a link to all the things: simplyjamilah.com/linkinbio

160: simply... a Q3 reading wrap up 09.10.2026

For the transition from summer to fall, I diversified my taste just a little bit and read a bit more than my usual romance genre. I also managed to consume more audiobooks. A link to all the things: simplyjamilah.com/linkinbio

159: simply... a Dasher 02.10.2026

If you drive for Doordash, this is for you. If it takes forever for your Doordash order to get picked by a dasher to be picked up, this is for you. If you can never find your Doordash order after it's been delivered, this is for you. a link to all the things: simplyjamilah.com/linkinbio

158: simply... YouTube 11.09.2026

I'm on the platform to vibe and document my life, not to be bombarded with "get rich quick" videos every time I'm ready to upload. Thank you for pointing out my inadequacies, YouTube. my 2026 daily vlogs: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZK1WR3GBOaVu8-8JzfXnLvkv0TX_6hBs&si=3lUouxi4bN3GOjIX a link to all the other things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

157: simply... a D1 dating hater 04.09.2026

I've reached the point in my 20s where I want to put in effort towards having romantic relationship. Unfortunately, I think I hate it. Also, can you believe he had the audacity?

156: simply... unserious 30.08.2026

People often tell me I'm funny because of the way I say things. However, most of the time, I'm not trying to be funny, especially when I'm upset. If I'm feeling negative emotions, what in my tone of voice tells you I want to lollygag? a link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

155: simply... side hustles 07.08.2026

Without wearing myself down and sacrificing my sanity, there is one thing (or many things) I accredit for the positive leave my financial situation made between last summer and this summer: side hustles.

154: simply... space 30.07.2026

Not the NASA kind of space. The kind of space that needs to be taken from people in order to preserve one's mental health, which was under attack in July. Link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

153: simply... romanticizing life 23.07.2026

A conversation with my 98-year-old great-grandmother about living in the present inspired this episode. These are the little ways I make sure each day doesn't feel so boring and worthless. To my great-grandmother, thank you <3 A link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

152: simply... LHS 17.07.2026

While enduring the current literacy crisis and people begging authors to use simpler words, as I look back on my academic experience in high school, I am beyond grateful. Class of 2017 was prime time. a link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

151: simply... a Q2 reading wrap up 02.07.2026

Thoughts and feelings about all the books I read during April, May, and June 2026. Yes, I'm still upset about the Ali Hazelwood book adaptation. link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah link to storygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/simplyjamilah

150: simply... book adaptations 26.06.2026

Through the food stuck in my teeth while battling major exhaustion, I let out all my thoughts regarding the first thing I see every time I open Instagram: book adaptations. one link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

149: simply... 27 dresses (& lessons) 18.06.2026

To commemorate another year around the sun, I took inspiration from a little film called 27 Dresses. While showing the 27 dresses I own (well, 21 with the help of 6 from a friend), I share the 27 lessons I learned this past year (since June 17, 2025).the hub for all things Jamilah:https://lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

148: simply... don't piss me off 11.06.2026

If there's one thing I hate, it's half-truths and lying. Turns out, that's the core of joining the military. I would rather be stuck on the side of the road again if it means not being blatantly lied to. all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

147: simply... executive disfunction 29.05.2026

Thanks to Berry Street, I've been seeing a dietician for ten months now. Well, since there's about to be a big shift, I figured I'd share what I've learned thus far... from memory.the hub for all things Jamilah:https://lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

146: simply... a wish 22.05.2026

When recounting the joyous mundaneness my life has become, all I heard this past weekend was "I wish I could move away." Well, you can. link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

145: simply... a joyous occasion 15.05.2026

This was almost an episode dedicated to The Devil Wears Prada 2, but then my brain was triggered by some words that forced me to think about where I emotionally am in life. the hub for all things Jamilah:https://lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

144: simply... an obsession 08.05.2026

Low key... I'm not sure if anything I said makes sense. In short: I wish people were less obsessed with making social media content for money and had more fun with it. Link to all the things: lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

143: simply... far 01.05.2026

So it's been a month... yikes. Let's dive into all the travels, triumphs, and work B.S. the month of April had in store. One link to all the things: https://lnk.bio/simplyjamilah

142: simply... a Q1 book wrap up 27.03.2026

Fortunately, I've the pleasure of starting the year with some great books, so I had to share them. A link with all the things:https://beacons.ai/simplyjamilah

141: simply... a surprise! 19.03.2026

Throwing surprise birthday parties is not for the week; I have truly been humbled, but I'm also happy I could give people joy. My only intentional trip to Tennessee is now done. A link to all the things: https://beacons.ai/simplyjamilah

140: simply... uncontrollable 12.03.2026

My favorite thing about podcasting is figuring out myself, my thoughts, the reasonings behind my reactions. To quote that one pop singer, "I can't be tamed," and during this episode, I figure out why. Link to all the things:https://beacons.ai/simplyjamilah

139: simply... Black joy 05.02.2026

I knew I wanted to start the new season of the pod with introducing its transition into becoming a video podcast, but I was ill prepared for all that entailed. For now, we just have a little catch up, yap session. Links to all the things: https://beacons.ai/simplyjamilah
