Living Faith: Jamila Riley, artist

  • Grace Presbyterian Church 2931 South Kinnickinnic Avenue Milwaukee, WI, 53207 United States (map)
 

Jamila Riley is a visionary, creative, entrepreneur, and community builder whose work beautifully blends faith, fashion, and purpose.  As the founder of J. Riley, she has spent over a decade building a standout brand known for her signature handcrafted crochet earrings—each piece uniquely designed and made by her own hands, reflecting both artistry and intention.

But Jamila’s impact goes far beyond what she creates. She is a style curator, storyteller, and teacher who uses thrifting, fashion, and creativity to help women see beauty in what already exists—and more importantly, within themselves. Through her work and her presence, she empowers women to show up boldly, confidently, and authentically.  Rooted deeply in her faith, Jamila is passionate about encouraging women, building community, and creating spaces where transformation can take place. She is also a devoted wife, mother, and caregiver—roles she carries with grace, resilience, and strength.  Jamila’s life is a testament to what happens when creativity meets discipline, and faith meets action.
