She graduated from the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Faculty of Chemistry, where she studied Chemical and Process Engineering. Her educational background in science is not a limitation in her artistic and creative projects, but just the opposite: it stimulates her disciplined attitude towards her job and a professional pursuit of perfection, and at the same time it makes her a responsible and solid business partner. Jamilah started to learn oriental dancing from recognized Polish teachers: Alaya Shirin, Saida and Samira. She made her debut on the stage of the 1st "Nova Orient" Belly Dance Festival in Katowice, 2006, just to win the first place in solo contest and audience prize in the festival’s next edition, in 2007. Since then Jamilah has been working intensively for her next successes. In June, 2008, she wins the Polish Nationwide Oriental Dance Contest organised by "Amira" Dance School in Warsaw, and just six months later, in December of the same year, she represents Poland in the international festival World Dance Week in Mikołajki, where she is the only Pole to get to the final five. In June, 2009, she is the first Pole ever to win the 1st place in the International Raks Sharqi Contest, Semi-Professional category, at the "Sommerfestival" in Berlin, organised by Beata and Horacio Cifuentes. Jamilah was judged by the following jury: Beata and Horacio Cifuentes (Berlin), Khaled Mahmoud (London/Cairo), Lucie Pascalis (France), Ahmet Ogren (Istanbul), Shafeek Ibrahim (London/Cairo). Only one year later (September, 2010) she wins the next edition of the contest, this time in Solo Professional category, leaving behind her competitors from Europe and many countries from the whole world. This time the jury consisted of such stars as: Beata and Horacio Cifuentes (Berlin), Jillina (USA), Shafeek Ibrahim (Egypt) and others. Some time earlier, in February 2010, Jamilah wins the audience prize, "People’s Choice Award", in The Bellydance Evolution Competition organised by Jillina (USA). As the prize was awarded by voting of thousands of internet users worldwide, it is even more appreciated. The same year, in November, Jamilah wins the 3rd place in the "Bellydancer of the World" contest, organised by Leyla Jouvana and Roland in Duisburg. In 2011 Jamilah takes part in The Bellydance Evolution Competition again. However, this time her victory bears fruit in her participation in Jillina's spectacular stage project and entails a tour through the largest oriental stages in Europe.
