Maya Jama feature interview in presenting and being insecure about her looks

Maya Jama is a British television presenter, radio host, and model. She was born on August 14, 1994, in Bristol, England.

Jama began her career as a teenager, working as a presenter for hosting the weekly video countdown on JumpOff TV’s YouTube channel. She then moved on to present for Rinse FM, a London-based community radio station, before landing her first television role as a presenter for MTV.

Jama has since gone on to host a variety of TV shows, including “Cannonball,” “The Circle,” and “Save Our Summer.” She has also presented for BBC Radio 1 and co-hosted the MOBO Awards. Jama has become known for her engaging and witty presenting style and has amassed a large social media following, with over 2.7 million followers on Instagram.

Maya Jama used to be insecure about her looks, although the 28-year-old ‘Love Island’ presenter has worked as a model, she admitted there was a time when she struggled with her body image.

“When I was younger, I was no boobs and no bum, like a boy figure. “I was super skinny, a small size six.

“I used to get spots and if I had a super spotty forehead I wouldn’t go out — I thought they would see my spots and feel sick.”

However, Maya believes that her worries about her looks, helped her to become the person she is today.

She explained: “I thought ‘boys ain’t going to fancy me for my looks so I am going to have to make them fancy me for my personality’.

“Knowing you are more than your body, I know I am a nice and good person.”

And, Maya also credits her parents with helping to boost her self-esteem.

She said: “My mum installed so much self-love so they wouldn’t allow me to get in a super low place, that is one thing.

“I have never cried about my body or had any eating disorders.

“Even though everything around me could be going mental they would make sure I felt good, which is amazing.”

In addition to her presenting work, Jama has also modeled for brands such as Adidas and worked as a brand ambassador for Maybelline. Her success in the entertainment industry has made her one of the most well-known and influential young British personalities today.
