Meet Gamila Smith

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Gamila Smith a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Gamila, thank you so much for joining us today. Let’s jump right into something we’re really interested in hearing about from you – being the only one in the room. So many of us find ourselves as the only woman in the room, the only immigrant or the only artist in the room, etc. Can you talk to us about how you have learned to be effective and successful in situations where you are the only one in the room like you?

I use the I am frequency , I am confident, resilient, blessed . I share my wisdom and knowledge with respect, reverence & grace to individuals who ask for guidance or advice.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I am a celebrity stylist and costume designer with over 30 years of experience in Film & Television Industry.
I am a member of the Costume Designers Guild & MPC costumers . I am also founder of Shangrilaofluxury a luxury wellness company featuring different wellness products and yoga and sound healing experiences.

I have championed working with high end corporate clients and brands , Addidas , Soho house Malibu & DTLA , Amex black card , YPO Beverly Hills Retrouve skin care who are ffocusing on caring for management and staff and providing wellness programs featuring my product line @holysagela where I demonstrate meditation, breathing and mindfulness meditation and techniques.
I am currently doing a residency at a boutique tennis club @tltfc doing wellness advisory and soundbath experiences to members & guests.
I am currently in the process of bringing my luxury wellness collection @holysagela online soon .

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Set intentions and affirmations in a journal and time stamp them , Invest in yourself, take classes that will enhance your life experience. Spend time with elders and ask for guidance and advice from mentors in the fields you wish to work or excel in .

Always read , shut off phone & technology and meditate , be grateful and appreciate absolute everything you have been blessed with .

Close your eyes inhale and exhale 3 x gently and visualize yourself exactly where you dream yourself being

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

The untethered soul
By Michael A.Singer
Get yourself a notebook and a few different highlighters, read it & Re read it but a few copies to share . It is a gem of a book & teaches you to differentiate between subconscious & concious mind.
I highly recommend it , it’s absolutely brilliant.
