Jamillah started reporting the occupation at Freeland since it started. She uploaded video reports that detail many of the activities conducted by the A.S.A., including testing minors for the metagene and building facilities that cage any suspected people with metahuman abilities. Eventually, she had an affair with Anissa Pierce.

Later, she joined the Freeland Resistance.
