I have had the privilege of collaborating with Jamila on numerous digital media, digital organizing campaigns, and communication projects. Jamila consistently demonstrates a profound acumen and creativity throughout every phase of the process, which transcends the capabilities of software tools like Canva. Jamila’s skills as a graphic designer are truly commendable, consistently delivering projects that not only surpass my expectations but also ignite a palpable enthusiasm and interest.
In the realm of showcasing brand DNA and as a narrative strategist, the art of storytelling is so important, and Jamila possesses an exceptional mastery in this domain. Jamila has a track record of communicating complex stories resulting in campaign wins, and teaches others how to do the same.
I would highly work with Jamila again in a heartbeat, and would unreservedly recommend their services to others.
For the past six years, I have had the chance to collaborate with Jamila on writing projects and
presentations. I have also had the chance to learn from them about organizing, communications
infrastructures, and political strategizing.
Jamila brings a singular skill set to the table when it comes to their level of experience in navigating community organizations and higher education contexts, their study of community-building praxis and social justice, and their commitment to helping people find ways to build the worlds they want to live in.
Jamila also has expansive knowledge of communications platforms, from social media and networking to website development to presentation software. I highly recommend working with Jamila!
It is amazing to see the years of work our team has put into researching and documenting experiences of climate migration for the Climate Refugee Stories project brought to life in this beautiful and accessible digital Earth Day 2022 toolkit!
In addition to their brilliant design vision and skills, Jamila contributed original research and expertise on capitalism, neoliberal fatalism, forced migration, environmental degradation, and Indigenous borderlands resistance to create this one-of-a-kind resource.
Jamila is a knowledgeable and great speaker. We often feel we can only speak well on one topic, but one area about who Jamila is is that they are complex and raw. Or rather, they come from an intersectional personal experience.

Jamila is a critical resource. I am a journalist covering borders and immigration and the author of the award-winning book, "Love Across Borders: Passports, Papers, and Romance in a Divided World". I first became familiar with Jamila's work when they were MC'ing the "Open Borders Conference" in NYC in 2019, and later reached out to them when I was researching my book, "Love Across Borders". They provided wonderful and brilliant insights on the theory, policy, community organizing, and history of the Immigrant Rights Movement for my book.
