Kamie Crawford is a TV Host, Content Creator, Model and Former Miss Teen USA with a love for all things beauty, fashion and pop culture. Kamie has always had a passion for investigative journalism and is now putting her own “FBI” skills to the test while working alongside Nev Schulman as the co-host of MTV’s hit series, “Catfish: The TV Show.” When she's not poking holes in people’s stories, Kamie is partnering on social content with major beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands like Hulu, Swarovski, Lancôme, Dove, Crest, Always, and Chobani.

In the 2020 elections, Kamie was heavily involved with the current Biden-Harris Administration and Stacey Abrams’ Civics for the Culture initiative getting BIPOC voters out to the polls. One of Kamie's passions is to empower young girls and uplift the youth. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and her commitment to support marginalized groups and communities has led to her becoming an ambassador for Best Buddies.

About Am I Doing This Right?

From the publisher's feed

Each week, our hosts, Corinne Foxx and Natalie McMillan, cheers to the uncertainty of adulthood. And by “cheers,” they are being quite literal. A glass of wine (or two) makes this life “how to” podcast feel more like casual, after-work drinks with your best friend than a lengthy lecture.
