    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!

    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.
