Jamila is a change-maker and relationship weaver. She thrives when working with start-ups and well established organizations—nonprofits, foundations, and cooperatively owned businesses—on the precipice of emergent and designed change. As principal at Medley Transitions, Jamila leverages her background in organizational development to support organizations in operationalizing their values through highly participatory processes related to governance, strategic planning, resource mobilization, leadership development, project management, and more.

Jamila is also an advocate and educator for growing the solidarity economy movement. From 2012-2021, Jamila served in governance roles and then as executive director of the Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance. Additionally, Jamila is the founder and curator of the Black Women at Project. Launched in 2022, the project visibilizes how Black women embody, make meaning of, and celebrate home.
