Say YES to Yourself! Interviewing Kamille Richardson
In this episode, Amy speaks to Kamille Richardson, an entrepreneur, advocate and CEO and Co-founder of two companies! Amy first heard Kamille on the Women in Power room on clubhouse and knew this was a woman she really needed to talk to!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Kamille was born completely blind but she never felt like she had any limitations as a child because of this. Her network always supported her and expected her to achieve and master many challenges. Although her family were great, once she became an adult she began to realise that people made a lot of assumptions about her and her capabilities. This meant she spent a lot of time building her confidence and self-esteem back up so she could prove people wrong.
It was when Kamille started working in the blind community she realised that she could make a real difference, as well as a business, by offering help and support for those who had recently/suddenly lost their sight, particularly in how to use their phone and make it an aid for them in their new life.
Kamille was a massage therapist for 11 years, she was very good but she never felt like it came naturally to her. She loved talking to people but she never actually enjoyed the work.
Having to make big decisions can be incredibly hard and Kamille isn’t immune to self-doubt and negative thoughts. But she overcomes this with exercises to improve her mindset.
Clubhouse is a new social media platform but has helped Kamille do incredible things already. One of the bonuses she finds is that people get to find out about who she is and what she is about without knowing she is blind; she isn’t pre-judged by her disability.
Nature can be a source of inspiration and healing. This is something Kamille finds regularly, she particularly enjoys listening to birds, they sound so content and happy.
Kamille would encourage everyone to say yes to yourself, once you do this so many doors will open. Don’t worry too much about the how and just know that things will happen for you.
BEST MOMENTS
“My mother was an integral part of that, she was my biggest cheerleader, my biggest advocate…I grew up with lots of love and lots of support”
“It’s a whole new way of life”
“I may have been born blind but I was born with the gift of intuition”
“You know what, we need to be like birds!”
