She is so mature for her age. I am always shocked when she mentions her age. What she has achieved in her life is inspiring.

Lol you're acting as if she's done something outstanding. Plenty of young TV presenters out there!

@banandababa 7 лет назад

Plenty of WHITE ones. Her being a regular working class girl of half Somali background, its quite exceptional if you ask me. And she's a presenter of massive jobs at the age of 21. Sorry but that will always be impressive to me!

@millicentlopez3592 7 лет назад

Good for her but i wouldn't trade experiences with her; the JumpOff environment is a nightclub environment NOT appropriate for a teenager. I guess since she was exposed to a lot when she was young she could navigate that world of machismo and hypersexualisation of women. The reason why i assumed she was older than her years is also based on the way she dresses -or doesn't.
