I Weigh with Jameela Jamil

Gina Yashere

Comedian, author, and 'Bob Hearts Abishola' EP/writer/actor, Gina Yashere, joins Jameela this week to discuss a career marked by perseverance, why she never stopped believing in herself, leaving a career in engineering to become what her mother called "a clown," the glass ceiling for black comedians in the UK, almost missing a meeting with sitcom legend Chuck Lorre, opening doors for other performers like London Hughes, and more.     Check out Gina's book - Cack-Handed - <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/cack-handed-gina-yashere?variant=39685228691490" target="_blank">wherever books are sold! </a>Follow Gina on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ginayashere/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/ginayashere?lang=en" target="_blank">Twitter</a> @ginayashere
