She felt that she would find her true voice as a television host- the perfect medium to reach large audiences and help educate them about cultural diversity.

Jamil's on-camera experience include tv hosting, numerous national commercials and a small part in Spike Lee's 25th Hour. As a professional model with Ford Model Management, Jamil has appeared in ad campaigns for Ann Taylor Loft and Casual Corner. You have probably even seen her pop up on your computer now and again for Harris Direct. Also, for any younger fans out there, Jamil is the model for Alyx, the female character in Half Life II!

I have had a blast on Parade Town USA and interviewing folks on Sidewalks of New York. I am also a host on Cool In Your Code, a great new show on the NYC TV line-up. When I am not working with NYC TV I am modeling and, if luck is on my side, shooting commercials now and again.

How long have you been with NYC TV?
I have only been on NYC TV for a few months, but it is great to be a part of such a dedicated and energetic team with an awesome vision for the station.

What's you favorite thing about NYC TV?
I love that NYC TV really is EVERYTHING New York...it truly offers the best of the city and I love being a part of that. NYC TV reveals aspects of the city that a viewer wouldn't ordinarily see.

What's your favorite thing about NYC?
I love the diversity of NYC and all of the fabulous cultural events that are happening on any given day.

Who's the most interesting person you've interviewed and why?
It is cool to have interviewed Martha Stewart and Donald Trump but the real highlight was speaking to a torch bearer for the Olympic Torch Run. He said that he was not even supposed to be alive...he beat cancer two years ago.

He was from the UK but felt that he owed New York for giving him his life back. Since his diagnosis, he has dedicated his life to fundraising with New York hospitals for cancer patients. It was an honor to get to speak with him.
