Meet MS KAMILLE

 

We recently connected with MS KAMILLE and have shared our conversation below.

MS KAMILLE, so great to be with you and I think a lot of folks are going to benefit from hearing your story and lessons and wisdom. Imposter Syndrome is something that we know how words to describe, but it’s something that has held people back forever and so we’re really interested to hear about your story and how you overcame imposter syndrome.

That’s a tough one, but it boils down to recognizing that I’m capable and continuing to work hard at everything I do. That doesn’t mean I’ve eliminated doubt altogether. Over time, I’ve learned to move forward without needing constant validation. And when I do need it, I start with myself. If I don’t believe in my capabilities and what I have to offer, how can I expect anyone else to?

I focus on preparation, consistency, know-how and follow-through. Every project completed, each decision made and each challenge navigated became quiet evidence that I was fully capable.

Eventually, the question shifted from “Do I belong here?” to “Am I doing the work with integrity?” Once I centered myself on the latter, imposter syndrome stopped being something to defeat and became something to manage. Not a stopping point. Whether it’s my 9-to-5 in corporate spaces or the moves I’m making with She Got The Juice, I remind myself that I’m here because I’ve earned it and I’m meant to be here.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I work at a beautiful intersection of creativity, strategy and execution. Professionally, I balance a full-time role in marketing while also building She Got The Juice®, a product-led brand rooted in confidence, self-expression, and intention. Moving between these spaces allows me to bring structure to creativity and creativity to structure, which is where I do my best work and shine.

What’s been most exciting about She Got The Juice over the past 5 years is witnessing the brand continues to grow without losing its core or mission. The brand started as a personal practice of creating meaningful gifts for the dope women in my life and it has evolved into a platform for thoughtfully designed products rooted in confidence and badassery. Every product is created with intention, not just to be seen, but to be felt. To be heard.

One of the products I’m especially proud of is our You Got The Power deck, which was designed as a tool for confidence and resilience. It reflects the same principles I use in my own life and work, and the ethos of She Got The Juice.

Moving more broadly, my focus right now is on sustainable growth. That means being selective about what I create, who I collaborate with, and how the brand shows up in the world. I’m less interested in chasing scale for its own sake and more interested in building something I believe is truly lasting, thoughtful and aligned. Whether through new product development, partnerships, or community-driven moments, my goal is to continue creating work that had impact, while leaving room for evolution.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Creativity and authenticity have been the most impactful qualities throughout my journey. Creativity allows me to imagine, explore range and test limits. Authenticity, for me, has been about staying rooted in my values and not wavering when it would be easier to conform. That alignment shapes the work I choose, the relationships I’ve built and how I continue to grow without losing myself.

And let’s not forget discernment. Knowing when to move, when to pause, and when to say no has been just as important. For anyone early in their journey, or for those who need a reminder, clarity in values, discernment in decision-making, and a commitment to execution will take you further than waiting for perfect conditions.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

As a true bibliophile, I’d say not one, but two books have played an important role in my development.

Early in my journey, when I was feeling stuck and quietly resentful watching peers move ahead, The Four Agreements truly changed me. It helped shift my mindset and pushed me to take accountability for how I showed up. The agreement that always stays with me is “be impeccable with your word.” It continues to guide how I move, how I communicate and how I trust myself. It’s my favorite book of all time and one I often gift to people I love. Don Miguel Ruiz is a special force.

And then there’s Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes, which has been a constant reminder to own my badassery. There’s a line that always sticks with me: “I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart, I am talented, I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way and I work really, really hard. Don’t call me lucky. Call me a badass.” That perspective helped reframe imposter syndrome for me and continues to inspire me as I take She Got The Juice to new heights.
