I write under a pen name, Kamila Lucide, after fifteen years away from publishing publicly. I was taught to journal when I was 8 years old by my doctor, because my speech used to fragment whenever I tried to recall something difficult.

I write under a pen name, Kamila Lucide, after fifteen years away from publishing publicly. I was taught to journal when I was 8 years old by my doctor, because my speech used to fragment whenever I tried to recall something difficult. So writing has always been my clearest voice. I have a background in English Literature and Linguistics, and for the past six years I’ve been studying, researching, and documenting AI systems, especially LLM patterns and behaviors, which is where a lot of my recent essays start. I write about technology, trauma, faith, identity, and the ordinary textures of life, trying to say what isn’t being said enough elsewhere.
