Breaking Down the TikTok Viral Moment
In a TikTok video that’s now been viewed over twenty-five million times, Jools delivers a tongue-in-cheek guide on presenting oneself in the workplace. “You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure. Very mindful. I don’t come to work with a green-cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work,” she quips.
Jools continues, playfully admonishing viewers to keep it classy: “A lot of you girls go to the interview looking like Marge Simpson, looking like Patty and Selma. Not demure. I’m very modest. I’m very mindful. You see my shirt? Only a little chee chee out, not my cho cho. Be mindful of why they hired you.”
Her sarcastic delivery and witty advice struck a chord, and soon enough, “very demure, very mindful” became a catchphrase for just about anything. From Penn Badgley wrapping up his final season of You to memes featuring Dwight D. Eisenhower, the phrase has become a cultural touchstone.
Living Authentically
Beyond her viral fame, Jools has also been open about her journey as a trans woman. In a heartfelt TikTok last year, she shared, “Growing up, I never saw myself as a boy… I was always like, ‘Oh I’m the girl’. People would make fun of me for being gay, for playing with dolls. It never clicked with me because in my mind, I’m a fierce diva.”
Jools’ story resonates with many, and her authenticity is a big part of why she’s become such a beloved figure on social media. As she continues to break boundaries and spread positivity, Jools Lebron proves that being “very demure, very mindful” can be fun and empowering.
