As an important voice of the so-called generación cero, disillusioned by the revolution, she has also been responsible for the anthologies Traffic Jam (2015), Para volar un papalote (2015) und JamSession (2017) verantwortet.

She also published the story collections Ratas en la alta noche (2011) and Escritos en servilletas de papel (2011) as well as the essayistic volume Diseminaciones de Calvert Casey (2012) about the American-Cuban poet Calvert Cassey, for which Jamila Medina Ríos was awarded the highly prestigious Premio Carpentier in 2012.

In 2021, she moved to Providence, Rhode Island, USA, where she began her doctoral research at Brown University on Mambí ideology in Cuban art and literature.
