The Chemistry of Belonging
It’s been some time since I read the book, but I do believe this is one of the best book to movie adaptations this year.

I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay.
Our quarterly digital magazine, Chronicles of Chaos, is officially available in the Simply Jamilah shop!! Chronicles of Chaos is an amalgamation of various topics, including think pieces, foods, pop culture, and fashion. All the chaotic elements come together to create one piece of fun digital literature that NEVER surpasses the price of ninety-nine cents.
Writing short stories is my first love, and it’s time I get back to my roots, starting with a novella-esque literature (or two…).
It’s been some time since I read the book, but I do believe this is one of the best book to movie adaptations this year.
Now that it is officially fall, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all that was accomplished from my summer bucket list.
To finish some summer reading, I gave another Elle Kennedy book a try, and it was better than expected.
More than anything, Just Friends by Haley Pham should be considered young adult fiction… and published by Scholastic.
After starting the duology in January, I spent a majority of my August finishing Gilded and Cursed by Marissa Meyer, a dark and gruesome experience.
It’s been 24 hours, and I’m still processing this loss. Writing this has helped.
Adulting while existing as a Black, American woman in the 21st century is not an easy task, and the best way Jamilah deals with it is by talking into a microphone. With random tangents, anecdotes, and grammatically questionable sentences, join Jamilah every Thursday as she talks about anything and everything that pops into her mind while accomplishing the day-to-day task of being a woman in this confusing, evolving, scary lifetime.
In another effort to document my life, to have a way to remember the highs and lows of my existence, Jamilah on Film was born in 2022. There’s something so soothing about sitting for hours and curating parts of my life into moving images, knowing the generation(s) after me have the ability to see how chaotic (in every sense of the word) my life was.
